Hold/Run
This key serves the purpose of manual arm
-
ing. A pending measurement will be finished
and the result will remain on the display until
a new measurement is triggered by pressing
the RESTART key.

Restart
Often this key is operated in conjunction with
the HOLD/RUN key (see above), but it can
also be used in free-running mode, especially
when long measuring times are being used,
e.g. to initiate a new measurement after a
change in the input signal. RESTART will
not affect any front panel settings.
