Table 3-1. Front-Panel Features
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 shown with a
maximum of seven digits plus a polarity sign. Output frequencies (or potential output frequencies
if the Calibrator is in standby) are shown with four digits. Calibrator status is shown by these
abbreviations:
OPR Shown when an output is active at the front panel terminals.
STBY Shown when the Calibrator is in standby.
u When you change the output, “u” (unsettled) is shown until the output moves in to the
specified accuracy.
m Shown while the Calibrator measures. (Thermocouple and impedance measurement
only.)
? Shown when the amplitude is specified as typical only, and/or decreased resolution.
This occurs when you operate the Calibrator in extended-bandwidth mode.
C Shown when the amplitude is specified as typical only, and/or decreased resolution.
This occurs when you operate the Calibrator in extended-bandwidth mode.
Control Display
The Control Display is a multipurpose backlit LCD used to show data entries, UUT error
adjustments, softkey names, phase angles, watts, power factors, and other prompts and
messages. When there is not room on the Output Display, output frequency is shown on the
Control Display. Softkey names tell you the function of the softkey directly below them. Groups of
softkey names together make a menu. The menus give access to many different functions with the
five softkeys plus the PREV MENU key. (See Figure3-3, Softkey Menu Tree.)
