3.4 Configuring the Instrument (SET-UP)

The Models 6550/6555 are factory configured so that they can be used without modifying the parameters.
For most measurements, simply choose the test voltage and press the START/STOP button.
Most parameters can be configured using the CONFIG button or in the SET-UP function.
■
The SET-UP function allows overall configuration of the instrument independently of which
measurement functions are chosen.
■
The CONFIG button allows configuration of the chosen measurement function before and during a
measurement.
A configuration modified in one of these two ways is updated for both (SET-UP function or CONFIG button).
