Introduction
The Meter can be controlled either by sending commands through its RS232
communication interface or through the front panel. This chapter explains the function
and use of the controls and indicators located on the front panel of the Meter. Operating
the Meter through its RS232 communication interface is covered in Chapter 4.
The front panel has three main elements: input terminals (on the left), dual display
(primary and secondary displays), and keypad. See Figure 3-1 for an overview of the
front panel and refer to Table 3-1 for descriptions of the front-panel features.
The front panel is used to:
Select a measurement function (volts dc, volts ac, current dc, current ac,
resistance, frequency, and diode/continuity test) for the primary and/or secondary
displays
Take a measurement and display a reading
Select the manual or autorange mode
Manually select a measurement range for the primary display
Select function modifiers that cause the Meter to display relative readings,
minimum or maximum values, or to select the TouchHold
reading on the primary display
Change the measurement rate (slow, medium, fast)
Take a measurement and compare it against a tolerance range
Use the editor to select from option lists, to enter a relative base, or to enter a
high (HI) or low (LO) range for the compare mode
Configure the computer interface (RS-232)
Send measurements directly to a printer or terminal through the RS-232 interface
