    2. DESCRIPTION Preliminary remarks: Several types of action are possible on each key of the keypad, depending on whether the user presses the key briefly (short press, < 2s, validated by a beep) or at length (long press, > 2s, validated by a beep having a tone different from that of the beep emitted for a short press). In what follows, these different actions are symbolized as follows : for a short press on the key in question.

    If U > U , where U is the touch voltage limit (U = 25 or 50 V, which can be parameterized in the “SET- UP” mode: see § 3.2), the instrument indicates that measurement is impossible. If a measurement is triggered, the instrument then monitors voltage U : if it increases by more than 20V, the instrument stops the measurement and reports an error.
