8.2.2 M2 Scope/Meter Soft Keys
The eight soft keys located above the rotary dial on the M2 Scope/Meter are used to initiate a
variety of additional functions while performing meter tests. The functionality of the soft keys
varies according to what type of tests are being performed, as determined by the position of the
rotary switch. Some of the soft keys do not function for certain test modes.
The table below gives a brief general description of soft key operations, the “Mode” column lists
the tests during which the key is active. More detailed information is found in the categorical
sections that follow.
In general, a short or momentary push of a soft key activates the assigned function, a long push
returns to the normal display.
