Operating Your Frequency Counter 2
Keysight 53150A/151A/152A Operating Guide 71
Using the Clear and Reset/Local Keys
The Clear key and the Reset/Local key have similar functions in the Menu and in
other front-panel-key function settings, but their effects vary with the Counter’s
state and condition. In general, the Reset/Local key restores the setting that was
in effect when you entered the Menu or front-panel-key function, but it does not
close the Menu or the function-setting display. The Clear key also restores the
previous setting, but it closes the Menu or the front-panel-key function-setting
display at the same time.
If you press the Reset/Local key while the Counter is taking measurements, it
resets the current operation and forces the Counter to reacquire and re-measure
the signal.
Pressing the Reset/Local key while the Counter is in Remote Mode forces the
Counter into Local Mode and enables all of the front-panel controls.
