Model 6517B Electrometer User’s Manual Section 4: Measurement Options
Introduction
This section describes the details of taking measurements. Configuration options, triggers, reading
storage, and scanning are just a few of the topics discussed. You will find this information useful
whether operating the Model 6517B from the front panel or IEEE-488 bus.
Multiple displays
Each measurement function and some operations provide multiple displays by using the bottom
line of the front panel. These multiple displays provide multiple type measurements, show a
reading in a different form, or give additional information about the reading.
Multiple displays are summarized in this
section. All the multiple displays are shown in Table 4-1.
The NE
XT and PREV (previous) DISPLAY keys scroll through the multiple displays for the
selected function or operation. The multiple display mode can be cancelled by pressing and
holding in either key.
