S600+ Instruction Manual
5-12 Front Panel Revised July-2017
To define the default display:
1. Go to the required data display page.
2. Press Minus.
3. Press Minus again to confirm the selection.
To clear the default display, go to a menu page and repeat steps 2 and
3. To invoke the default display, use the CLEAR key.
Note: The CLEAR key does not work while in Edit mode.
5.10 Assigning a Page to a Function (F) Key
You can assign any display page to appear when you press one of the
four function keys (F1 through F4). This is helpful when you often
need quickly to access a particular page.
1. Access the desired display page.
2. Press the Decimal Point (.) key.
3. Press the F key—F1, F2, F3, or F4—you want to associate with
that display page.
Note: Once you assign an F key to a display page, you cannot undo
the assignment unless you clear the SRAM or cold-start the
S600+. However, you can always re-assign the F key to a
different display page.
5.11 Using the Exponential (EXPT) Key
The Exponential (EXPT) key allows you to enter parameters in
scientific notation.
S600+ displays the value in scientific notation if it cannot display the
value as a normal number. Using the Config600 software, you can
force a data value to always display in scientific notation. For further
information, refer either to the Config600 Software User Manual (Part
D301220X412) or to the online help for the Config600 software.
To enter an exponential value:
1. Key in a value.
2. Press EXPT (an E appears on the display) and then enter the
required power.
3. Press Enter.
For example, to enter the value 0.00000009 as an exponential value,
key in 9.0 or 9, press EXPT, enter 8 (to represent the power), and press
Enter to confirm.
