5) When a negative value is desired, it is possible to depress the [+/
-] push-button at any time during data entry procedure.
6) Setting a numerical value out of the selected range, the instru-
ment will show "E" and it will continue to generate the old value.
7) Setting a value with a number of decimal figures higher than the
selected range, the instrument will truncate the programmed
value according to the number of decimal figures of the selected
range.
8) When it is selected a generation with automatic range selection
and a value higher than 20000 counts is programmed (the
decimal point position have no influence), the instrument will
show the "E" message and it will continue to generate the old
value.
NOTE: only the OUT 20 mA NON RANGEABLE selection allows
to set a (and to generate) a value up to 21.000 mA.
GENERAL NOTES ON MEASUREMENTS
1) During a measurement, the maximum and minimum data hold
functions are enabled.
These functions are activated automatically by measuring
function.
To display the maximum and minimum data hold push, respec-
tively, the s and t push-button.
The instrument will show, on the right hand of the value, the PKH
message when the maximum data hold value is shown or PKL
message when the minimum data hold is shown.
When it is desired to clear the values of the maximum or
minimum data hold previously memorized, push the DEL/WAIT
push-button and, maintaining the pressure, push, respectively,
the s or t push-button.
2) The instrument incorporates, for mV, mA and TX measurements
with programmable scaling, a special function REV/MODE that
allows to display, temporaneously, the measured value without
scaling (in mV or mA).
To enable or disable this function push the REV/MODE push-
button.
