The CHANNEL SELECT key toggles between the channel 1 and channel 2 measurements
on the left-hand display when the single-channel display mode is selected (see below).
DISPLAY TOGGLE key
The DISPLAY TOGGLE key turns the dual-channel display mode on or off. When the
dual-channel mode is active, the channel 1 measurement function reading (MSR1) appears
on the left (I, V/I, I/V, I × V, or MX + B), while the channel 2 measurement function

select the channel and display statistical data on readings stored in the data store buffer.
These functions are performed from the data store RECALL mode. (See Section 8 for data
store information.)
