Instrument Description
27
Each key indicates its primary function. The area just above some of the keys indicates
a secondary key function that you can activate by first pressing [2nd F]. Throughout
this document, references to a secondary function are written as follows: [2nd F],
[Primary] (Secondary). For example, the instruction to activate the clear memory
function is written as follows: āPress [2nd F], [FILE] (CLR MEM)ā.
The [ī], [ī], [ī], and [ī] keys, together with the [ENTER] key, are used to select
menu items or screen parameters and to change parameter values. Use the [MEAS]
key at any time to return to the measurement screen. The yellow keys are related to
calibration. The blue keys are related to the display configuration.
Table 2 on page 27 lists the key functions available from the 38DL PLUS keypad.
