The main menu is organized into six submenus, which are labeled in green across the top of the
display. The icons in each column open interactive screens.
QuickSet controls menu
The QuickSet controls menu (centered under Source and Measure on the main menu) allows you to
select predefined setups for Function and "One-Touch" instrument-type emulation. This menu also
contains a sliding scale adjustment for Performance (resolution versus speed).
When you select a Quick Setup, the instrument turns the output on. Carefully consider and configure
the appropriate output-off state, source, and limits before connecting the Model 2450 to a device that
can deliver energy, such as other voltage sources, batteries, capacitors, or solar cells. Configure the
settings that are recommended for the instrument before making connections to the device. Failure
to consider the output-off state, source, and limits may result in damage to the instrument or to the
device under test (DUT).
The table below shows the default settings for each of the quick setups.
