5 Mode Functions
Mode
Mode
The Mode key allows you to select the available measurement applications or “Modes”. Modes are a
collection of measurement capabilities packaged together to provide an instrument personality that is
specific to your measurement needs. Each application software product is ordered separately by Model
Number and must be licensed to be available. Once an instrument mode is selected, only the commands
that are valid for that mode can be executed.
Key operation can be different between modes. The information displayed in Help is about the current
mode.
To access Help for a different Mode you must first exit Help (by pressing the Cancel (Esc) key). Then select
the desired mode and re-access Help.
For more information on Modes, preloading Modes, and memory requirements for Modes,
see "More Information" on page 223
