Chapter 1: Before You Begin
Data Entry Methods
To perform a particular test or function, the tester will ask for
dierent types of information. This means that the methods
you use to enter information will change depending on
the type of information requested. The four types of entry
methods are described below.
Menu icons
A menu icon is a graphical representation of a function
you can select, such as the Diode Icon in the DMM Menu.
To select an icon, use the LEFT or RIGHT ARROW key to
highlight it. Highlighting changes the icon to a white picture
on a black background. To conrm your selection, press the
appropriate soft key.
Option Buttons
Some lists have option buttons before each item. To select
an item, use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to move the dot
into the button next to the item you want. You can also use
the alphanumeric keypad to enter the number preceding
the option button. To conrm your selection, press the
appropriate soft key.
Scrolling Lists
Scrolling lists contain items that extend above and below
the screen or the selection box that contains them. To
indicate that there are more items, the symbols
appear
to the right of the rst visible or highlighted item on the list.
To select from this type of list, use the UP/DOWN ARROW
keys to scroll to the item, or use the keypad to enter your
choice, and press the appropriate soft key.
Alphanumeric Entry
Some selections require you to use the alphanumeric
keypad. These “user-dened” selections have a blinking
horizontal line (cursor) to the right of the last character.
Use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to highlight a line for
editing. Display the character, symbol, or number you want
by rapidly pressing its key as many times as needed. If you
pause, the cursor moves to the right. To backspace, press the
LEFT ARROW key. Use the RIGHT ARROW key to add a
space. Use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to highlight a line
for editing. When nished, press the appropriate soft key to
save your settings.
