Overview of the front-panel options
The front panel of the Series 2281S allows you to set up
most instrument functions and features and perform sourcing
and measuring operations. The front panel includes:
• A high-resolution color display that allows you to access
instrument settings and measurement readings
• Keys that select menu options and start measurement
operations
• A navigation control that can be used to select screen
options
• An OUTPUT switch turns the source output on or o󰀨
• Front-panel binding posts for output connections
ENTER and EXIT keys
The ENTER key selects a highlighted option. In most cases,
it opens the menu or dialog box that allows you to change
settings for that option.
The EXIT key returns to the previous menu or closes a
dialog box. For example, if you are on the menu screen,
pressing EXIT returns you to the Home screen.
TRIGGER key
The action of the TRIGGER key depends on the trigger
method that is selected and the state of the trigger model:
• If manual triggering is selected, pressing TRIGGER
causes the instrument to make a measurement.
• If the trigger model is in idle, pressing TRIGGER initiates
the trigger model.
