3.3.3 [CLEAR] Button
Pressing and releasing the [CLEAR] button will reset the peak 
and valley values of the channel being monitored by the display 
to the track value. Additionally, any limits in the instrument that 
are “latched” will be reset. 
To clear the peak and valley values of all channels simultane-
ously, use the System connector’s Function Input #2 pin. See 
“System Connector” on page 17 for details.
To clear the peak and valley values of a single channel regard-
less of which channel is being monitored by the display, use the 
channel’s AUX1 or AUX2 control pins on its connector. See the 
particular chapter regarding that channel for details. 
3.3.4 [CHANNEL] button
If the configuration of the instrument contains more than one 
channel, the left most characters of the display indicates which 
channel the display is monitoring. Pressing and releasing the 
[CHANNEL] button will cause the next channel to be displayed.
On instruments with a dual-line display, the [CHANNEL] button 
cannot be used to change which channel the lower line is moni-
toring. That is selected with the “DISPLAY MENU -> LOWER CHANNEL”  
menu item.
Shunt Calibration Check
If the [CHANNEL] button is held down for more than 3 seconds, 
the present channel’s shunt calibration value (if the channel has 
shunt calibration available) will be displayed.
3.3.5 [TARE] button
To reset the channel’s display to zero, press the [TARE] button 
while in RUN mode. To restore the tare value, press the [TARE] 
button again. The “Tare” indicator will illuminate when tare is on.
To tare all channels simultaneously, use the System connector’s 
Function 1 Input pin. See “System Connector” on page 17.
To tare a single channel regardless of which channel is being 
monitored by the display, use the channel’s AUX1 or AUX2 con-
trol pins on its connector. See the particular chapter regarding 
that channel for details. 
3.3.6 Indicator Lights 
Models SC2000, SC2001 
A “¸“ symbol on the right side of a channel’s display indicates 
tare is off for that channel; a “®“ symbol indicates tare is on.
If the lower line of the display is configured with the “DISPLAY 
MENU -> LOWER MODE” menu item as “LIMIT 01-04”, then the lower 
line will monitor the status of Limits 1, 2, 3 and 4. A “¸“ symbol 
indicates a limit is deactivated; a “®“ symbol indicates a limit is 
activated. For example:
L1¸ L2¸ L3® L4®
indicates that Limit 1 and Limit 2 are deactivated and Limit 3 and 
Limit 4 are activated. 
These indicators may be overridden by the operation of a Math-
ematics channel in special applications.
Model SC3004
Front panel lights “L-1”, “L-2”, “L-3”, and “L-4”, monitor the status 
of Limits 1, 2, 3, and 4. Model SC3004 instruments also include 
front panel lights labeled “L-5”, “L-6”, “L-7” and “L-8” which moni-
tor the status of optional Limits 5, 6, 7, and 8.
The function of the front panel lights may be overridden by the 
operation of a Mathematics channel in special applications.
3.4 ERROR mode
The instrument enters the ERROR mode when a critical error oc-
curs that prevents the instrument from operating. The display al-
ternates between displaying a two-digit code in the form “ERROR 
xx ON CH.yy” and a short description of the error. The first two 
digits “xx” hold the error code. The last two digits, “yy” is channel 
number that caused the error. For example, “ERROR 60 ON CH.01” 
indicates that error number 60 occurred on channel 1.
While the instrument is in the ERROR mode, no other operations 
are taking place except for limited serial communications ca-
pabilities. See “Error Message List” on page 73 for a list of error 
codes and their probable causes.
3.5 SETUP Menu mode
The SETUP Menu mode is used to display or change the settings 
that control the operation of the instrument. 
3.5.1 Available Menus
Each major function of the instrument has its own SETUP Menu. 
See “Setup Menu Reference” on page 77.
3.5.2 Entering and Exiting the SETUP Menu 
mode
To enter the SETUP Menu mode, press and hold the [UP] and 
[DOWN] buttons at the same time until you see “SETUP” on the 
display. When you release the buttons, you will see the first 
SETUP Menu item.
