Front Panel Operation
3-1 Introduction
This section provides a complete description of each operation that can be
performed by using the pushbuttons on the front panel.
All related information for operations and functions are grouped together.
3-2 Front Panel Operations
The following operations can be performed from the front panel:
! Select a measurement function (Vdc, Vac, Adc, Aac, resistance, frequency,
and diode/continuity test) for the primary and secondary display.
! Take a measurement and display a reading.
! Select the manual or auto-range mode (AUTO)
! Manually select a measurement range for the primary display.
! Select function modifier that cause the meter to display relative readings
(REL), minimum or maximum values (MIN MAX) or decibels (dBm and
dB), or to enter the Data Hold mode (HOLD) to hold a reading on the
primary display.
! Change the measurement rate (SLOW, MEDIUM, FAST)
! Set the dB reference impedance (REFΩ).
! Take a measurement and compare (COMP) it against a tolerance range (Hi,
Lo, or Pass).
! Use the ”editor” to select from option list, to enter a relative constant base, or
to enter a HI-LO range for the compare (COMP) mode.
! Configure the computer interface (RS-232 or IEEE-488).
! Take an audio power reading.
! Send measurement directly to a printer or terminal through the RS-232
interface (RS-232 print only mode)
These and other front panel operations are described in the remainder of Section
3.
