Mode
The 146 instrument is designed to operate in five different modes. The
associated parameters and functions of each mode are viewed in the front
panel window, and operable through the front panel keypad (and the RS-232
serial port). The three standard modes of the Type 146 instrument are Normal
Mode (the default mode), Leakage Mode, and Setup Mode. Two other modes,
Tuning Mode and Control Mode are available when the optional Control
board is installed in the 146 unit.
Function
A function is a task the 146 unit can perform. For example, spanning a sensor
with a reference is a task the 146 unit can perform. Other tasks include
switching channels in the main display, and adjusting set point values. Each
function is given a separate
How To...
section within this manual. Refer to
the Table of Contents for a complete list of all functions the 146 unit can
perform.
Parameter
A parameter is a value or option you add or alter when you give a command or
execute a function. The result is that the command or function accomplishes
its task in the way that you want. If you do not enter a parameter, the 146 unit
operates according to default values. For example, the default baud rate for
RS-232 communications is 9600. Unless you enter a different baud rate, this
is the value the 146 instrument uses.
