Function Keys S1 – S6
Function keys a through f allow you to save and recall up to six measurement
configurations. This helps speed the process of setting up the Meter, and is particularly
useful if you repeatedly need the same configurations.
To save the present configuration, press Q and then press the function key to which
you want to store the configuration.
To recall a configuration, press the applicable function key. A beep sounds when the
configuration is ready for use, and Setup
configuration.
When a configuration is stored, it includes the following:
3-24
1. Select the number to be edited by pressing the applicable buttons as shown in
Table 3-8.
The last number entered or value measured is displayed with the leftmost digit
bright and the remaining digits dim. (If the number is negative, the minus sign is
bright.) Related annunciators are displayed.

2. Press U or V to increment or decrement the highlighted digit to the desired
number (from 0 to 9). When the digit is set to the desired number, press S1
through S6 to select the next digit to edit. S1 corresponds to the left-most digit
and S6 corresponds to the right-most digit. Repeat this step until you have set all
the digits to their desired values.
3. When the value has been set, press C to toggle the sign between positive and
negative. If the sign is positive, the negative sign (–) is off. If the sign is negative,
the negative sign (–) is on.
4. For Low/High threshold, press R to select the desired range for threshold
values. The range goes one step up by pressing R once. If the range reaches
the top range, the next press wraps back to range 1 and the value will be cleared.
5. When you are finished editing the number, press and hold R for 2 seconds to
store the value.
