Front panel keys and terminals
1. DISPLAY and POWER keys:
i. DISPLAY: Shows model, version and condition by pressing the PREV and NEXT
keys
ii. POWER: Activates the Model 2100 digital multimeter
2. FUNCTION keys:
a. First row without SHIFT key:
i. DCV: Selects DC voltage measurement
ii. ACV: Selects AC voltage measurement
iii. 2: Selects 2-wire resistance measurement
iv. FREQ: Selects frequency measurement
v. CONT: Selects the continuity test
b. First row with SHIFT key:
i. DCI: Selects DC current measurement
ii. ACI: Selects AC current measurement
iii. 4: Selects 4-wire resistance measurement
iv. PERIOD: Selects period measurement
v. : Selects diode testing
c. Second row without SHIFT key:
i. FILTER: Enables or disables the digital filter
ii. DIGITS: Changes the resolution
iii. RATIO: Enables the dcv:dcv ratio function
iv. %: Calculates the ratio to a target value in percentage
v. MIN/MAX: Captures the minimum or maximum readings from the measurement
vi. NULL: Activates the offset function in order to get the real measured reading
d. Second row with SHIFT key:
i. LIMITS: Used for setting upper and lower limit values for readings
ii. MX+B: Used for calculating slope. X is the normal display reading; M and B are
constants specified by user for scale factor and offset
