The 8500C/C+ accepts commands and data through the keypad on the unit's front panel. There ar
32 keys, and most of them support more than one function or character depending on the state of the
instrument or the combination of keys pressed in concert (see Figure4- 1 on page4-2).
Throughout this manual, 8500C/C+ function keys are indicated with special typefaces in this manual
and in user guides, in order to help you better distinguish them, as follows:
•
START -
Dedicated keys, that is, those keys whose functions are printed on the key.
•
ENTER -
Soft keys, whose functions are bound to the four grey keys beneath the LCD.
The basic features of the keypad are explained in the rest of this section. For the most part, individual
keys are described in detail in the appropriate chapters of this manual.
Table 4-1, starting below, shows the basic functions or values and the keys and characters assigned to
each function.
