Front Panel Operation
2-7
2.3.4 Multiple displays
Each measurement function has its own set of “multiple dis-
plays” shown in the bottom line of the front panel display.
The PREVious and NEXT DISPLAY keys scroll through the
selections for the present function.
The multiple displays can show a reading in a different form,
or give additional information about the reading, for exam-
ple:
•Top line shows a reading; bottom line shows a zero-cen-
ter bar graph with adjustable limits.
To scroll through the multiple displays available for each
measurement functions, repeatedly press and release the
NEXT DISPLAY key. The same action with the PREVious
DISPLAY key does a reverse scroll through the displays. To
return to the default reading display, just press and hold ei-
ther key.
Multiple displays that are specific to a particular function or
operation are discussed later in this section, such as the cal-
culations display in math (see Table 2-6 for paragraph refer-
ences). Some of the displays that are common to all
measurement functions are discussed here.
Time/Day/Date
This display provides the time, day of week, and the date.
The time, date and format (12-hour or 24-hour) are set from
the CLOCK option of the GENERAL MENU (which is se-
lected from the MAIN MENU). See paragraph 2.19.7
(CLOCK) for details.
