Display features

You can set the front-panel display to display the units of measure, number of digits, and customized
text messages for your applications.

Setting the number of displayed digits

You can set the number of digits that are displayed for measurement readings on the front panel. You
can display 3½, 4½, 5½, or 6½ digits. The default is 5½.
The number of displayed digits does not affect accuracy or speed. It also does not affect the format of
readings that are returned from a remote command. To change the format of remote interface
readings for Test Script Processor (TSP) commands, see
format of remote interface readings for SCPI commands cannot be changed.

Description
Selecting this option initiates a firmware upgrade from a file on a
USB flash drive. During the upgrade process, the instrument
verifies that the version you are loading is newer than what is on
the instrument. If the version is older or at the same revision level,
no changes are made.
Selecting this option returns the Model 2450 to a previous version
of the firmware from a file on a USB flash drive. When you return to
a previous version, the instrument verifies that the version you are
loading is earlier than what is on the instrument.
Selecting this option starts a brief demonstration of the graphing
capability of the Model 2450. To get correct results, you must have
the appropriate demonstration fixture connected to the inputs. For
more information, contact your sales representative.
Selecting this option resets many of the instrument commands to
their default values. For more information about what commands
get reset, see Reset default values
Selecting this option reverts the LAN settings and the access
password to their default values.
