The Front Panel Indicators at a Glance (Cont.)
Indicators Description of the Indicators
When this indicator flashes, it indicates that the 
Counter is triggering on the input signal. If the 
input signal is too high, this indicator remains ON. 
If the input signal is too low, this indicator is OFF.
When one of these indicators is lit, it indicates that 
the adjacent choice (that is, 50Ω, DC, X10, or 
100kHz Filter) is enabled or active. Note that when 
these indicators are not lit, then the other choice 
(that is, 1MΩ, AC, X1, or no filter) is active. 
A lit Remote indicator indicates that the Counter is 
in remote mode (Note: In the remote mode, the Save 
& Print key becomes the Local key.) 
If (while in remote) an error occurs, the Remote 
indicator will flash. The indicator will continue 
flashing until the controller has read or cleared the 
error queue, or until the front panel returns to local 
mode.
An unlit Remote indicator indicates that the 
Counter is in local mode.
The SRQ indicator indicates that the Counter has 
requested service from the controller. The SRQ 
indicator will remain lit until the controller has 
recognized the service request and serial polled the 
Counter, or taken specific action to cancel the 
request (for example, *CLS command).
