Introduction
While this counter has a vast array of features
and operating modes, the majority of the most
useful functions can be learned in just a few
minutes. The following descriptions and exer
-
cises will help you grasp the basics of opera
-
tion. They will also serve as an introduction to
some of the more advanced features. It will
take you about half an hour to gather experi
-
ence enough to continue exploring the world
of counting on your own.
User Interface
The fundamental idea has been to facilitate
even complex measurements by a consistent
interactive user interface that fully exploits the
large graphic display. The casual as well as
the frequent user will benefit from a combina
-
tion of hard and soft keys. In this context hard
keys either act immediately or open fixed
menus, whereas the function of soft keys de
-
pends on the display information.
