Measurement results viewing
Measurement results can be presented in different views, so called display modes, some of which are always
available, and some can be activated or deactivated.
Display modes present some measurement results as well as additional
information in the way of icons regarding:
• instrument status: memory, power, real time, Bluetooth, GPS, connection
with the modem etc.;
• measurement status: measurement function, measurement elapsed time,
measurement start/stop/pause, trigger, logger etc.;
• measurement parameters: measured result, profile number, file name,
detector type, filter etc.
All icons are described in Chapter 2.8, other fields and view control functions - in Chapter 5.
Some views present numerical and some
graphical results, like on the right-hand
example: time-history plot and spectrum.
In some views the screen is divided into two
parts to show more numerical results in
different formats or both numerical and
graphical results.
If you are in the measurement mode, you can
switch between views using the ▲ / ▼ keys
pressed together with <Alt>.

The icon will appear, and the

current instrument settings, which are stored
in the instrument’s internal memory. During
the measurement the shape of the icon
will be changing from self to contoured.
