power supply decoupling for the shunt and series regulators, respectively. Q10 provides
base drive for Q3 at turn on. Voltage level information is presented in Table 2-1
Display 2-22.
The liquid-crystal display (LCD) operates under control of the microcomputer. Segments
are driven by the computer and displayed on the LCD. Both digital readings and an
analog bar-graph display are presented in conjunction with annunciators and decimal
points. Refer to the Fluke 76 User Manual for information about the display.
