be classified as follows: title screen, measurement screen, setup screen and
error message screen.

All information displayed in various 6100 screens, with the exception of title
screen and error message screen, can be in one of two states: selected or
unselected. A selected item can be in one of two states: idle or active.

items
A selected item in idle state is indicated by a diamond symbol () placed to
the left of the item. The idle state is the default state for a selected item. In
this state, the present value of the item may be displayed next to the label
depending upon the type of item. Pressing the SETUP/ENTER key will cause
the instrument to display a sub-menu for that item, should one be available.
Otherwise, it will change the display state for that item from idle to active.
A selected item in active state is indicated by flashing data associated with
that item. The cursor arrow keys can be used to modify the data (numerical or
non-numerical). Once the data has been modified, pressing SETUP/ENTER
key will cause the instrument to accept the new data and return the item to idle
state. Pressing the Esc key will cause the display to ignore any changes made,
and return to the previous menu.
