Figure 5. Function Menu
Menu selection is indicated by the filled-in black square
(hereafter the menu selector) to the left of a menu item. Use the
four front-panel cursor buttons (5 6 7 8) to position the menu
selector next to a menu item. As the menu selector moves
between menu items, the four softkeys and their labels change to
reflect the available functions and/or modes available for the
selection menu item.
The example menu in Figure 5 shows the REL (Relative)
function as the current selection. The function selected when the
menu opens is the function selected the last time the menu was
used. To get to the Hz menu item from the REL item, press 6
once, followed by one press of 7. As the menu selector moves
between the menu items, the softkey labels change to indicate
each softkey’s function. Once the desired function or mode
appears in one of the softkey labels, press the appropriate
softkey to activate it. The pop-up menu closes and the display
changes to reflect the selection just made. Pressing the softkey
labeled Close closes the pop-up menu, leaving the Meter in the
state it was in before pressing the Menu softkey.
In most cases, the softkeys revealed by the menu selection act
like toggles. The example menu shown in Figure 5 shows REL,
REL%, and Close softkeys. In this example, the Meter is not in
the relative mode, so pressing the softkey labeled REL would
activate, or toggle, the relative mode. If, on the other hand the
Meter is already in the relative mode, pressing the same softkey
would disable the relative function.
In some cases, pressing a function that can not be used with
other functions appearing in the menu turns off the previously
selected function. For example, in Figure 5, if the Meter is
already in the relative function, pressing REL% causes the Meter
to turn off relative and display relative percent.
In cases where multiple modes have been selected, selecting the
first (top-left) menu item always turns off all other functions and
modes, and returns the Meter to the primary function selected by
the rotary switch. For example, assume that the Meter is setup
for frequency (Hz) and is displaying in relative mode as selected
through the menu in Figure 5. Moving the menu selector to the
menu item labeled VAC and pressing the softkey labeled VAC,
clears both frequency and relative selections, leaving the Meter
in volts ac only.
Menu selections are remembered for each rotary switch position.
For example, selecting REL for the volts ac position causes REL
to be selected the next time the menu is opened in volts ac, even
though in the interim, Hz,%,ms was selected from a similar menu
for the millivolts ac function.
Up to two columns of four items each are displayed at any one
time. If more than eight menu items are available for a primary
function, g appears in the lower right-hand corner of the page
area of the display, indicating more menu items are available.
