Function Keys: These keys select one of the major functions for the Product. Push
any one of the function keys to take you immediately out of any
other display screen and into the top level of that function.
Access the DCV (DC Voltage) function. See DC Voltage.
Access the ACV (AC Voltage) function. See AC Voltage.
Access the DCI (DC Current) function. See DC Current.
Access the ACI (AC Current) function. See AC Current.
Access the Ohms function. See Resistance.
Access the Digitize function. See Digitize.
When pushed, makes other functions visible that can be selected in
the Product: Capacitance (8588A only), RF Power (8588A only),
Frequency Counter, DCI Ext Shunt (8588A only), ACI Ext Shunt
(8588A only), PRT readout, and Thermocouple readout. This key is
used in conjunction with
(More) and cycles through the
available functions. When one of the functions is selected under
More,
illuminates. See More.
H
Provides mathematical operations on measurements, for example,
averaging, multiplication by M, subtraction of C, and division by Z.
The Math annunciator on the display indicates that a Mathematical
operation is active. The Last Reading softkey () is useful to
quickly set C, Z, or m. See Math.
I
When selected, allows configuration of the front and rear terminals,
including front/rear ratio measurement, and shows their status.
Provides control of the External GUARD terminal and the rear TRIG
OUT BNC connector. Shows the softkeys that configure the front
and rear terminals, External Guard, and rear TRIG OUT BNC
connector. (Terminals) gives selections for Front, Rear, and
shows three scan modes with different mathematical combinations
of the front and rear readings, and also an Isolated configuration.
(Front Delay) sets the delay before the front terminals are
activated. (Rear Delay) selects the delay before the rear
terminals are activated. (External Guard) activates the
GUARD terminal (On or OFF). and (Output Signal) is used
to set the behavior of the rear TRIG OUT BNC connector. See Input
Terminal Selection and TRIG OUT.
