The display is a 320 x 240 pixel graphics LCD device with a bright CCFT
backlight. The contrast can be adjusted using the front panel buttons marked
C. The tilt of the display can be adjusted for best viewing by pressing the dis-
play in at the top (1590 only). The 1575/1590 has a screen saver feature which
can be used to extend the lifetime of the display (see Section 7.6.2.5). The dis-
play is used to show measurements, status information, operating parameters,
and soft-key functions. The types of data shown on the screen are described
below.
