[Alarm] Menu
Press [Alarm] key on the front panel to configure alarm on the selected channel. There are four con-
figurable alarms in this instrument. You must configure the channel before setting any alarm limits. If you
change the measurement configuration, alarms are turned off and the limit values are cleared. If you plan
to use scaling function on a channel which will also use alarms, be sure to configure the scaling values first.
