1
Output Display
The Output Display is a two-line backlit LCD that shows output amplitudes, frequency and
calibrator status. Output values (or potential output values if in standby) are displayed using up to
seven digits plus a polarity sign. Output frequencies (or potential output frequencies if the 5500A
is in standby) are displayed using four digits. Calibrator status is indicated by displaying the
following abbreviations:
OPR Displayed when an output is active at the front panel terminals or auxiliary
amplifier terminals.
STBY Displayed when the 5500A is in standby.
ADDR Displayed when the 5500A is addressed over the IEEE-488 interface.
u When you change the output, a “u” (unsettled) is displayed for a second or
two until the output settles to within the speclfied accuracy.
m Displayed when the calibrator is making a measurement. (Thermocouple
measurement feature only.)
? Displayed when the amplitude is specified as typical only, and/or reduced
resolution. This occurs when operating the 5500A in the extended
bandwidth mode.

Control Display
The Control Display is a multipurpose backlit LCD used for displaying data entries, UUT error
adjustments, softkey labels, phase angles, watts, power factors, and other prompts and
messages. When there isn’t enough room on the Output Display, output frequency is displayed on
the Control Display. Softkey labels identify the function of the softkey directly below them. Several
softkey labels together are called a menu. The changing menus provide access to many different
functions through the five softkeys plus the PREV MENU key. (See Figure 3-3, Softkey Menu
Tree.)
