Section Explanation
This section shows the date and time, the uncertainty specification of the output, and how
long since the Calibrator was last calibrated.
This section shows the output magnitude and frequency, the output range, and:
• whether the Calibrator is in STANDBY or OPERATE
• a 'U' is shown when the output is unsettled and not yet within specifications
• an external phase lock indicator is shown
• a phase output signal indicator
• various references and error amounts when error mode, scale, or offset are active
• an "ADDR" indicator if the GPIB interface is active and the Calibrator is currently being
addressed
The range indicator shows the range and if the range is locked. If it is possible to lock the
range, there is a gold dot at the left of the range indicator. Pushing this dot toggles between
auto-ranging and locked range.
This section has touchscreen selections. Touch the plus sign to show:
• Scale
• Offset
• Phase Control
When a value is entered, a field opens that shows the value in progress as it is entered.
A menu of the touchscreen selections. The selections shown depend on the output function
and value.
