Data Entry Methods

To perform a particular test or function, the tester will ask for
different types of information. This means that the methods
you use to enter information will change depending on

methods are described below.

Menu icons

A menu icon is a graphical representation of a function
you can select, such as the Diode Icon in the DMM Menu.
To select an icon, use the
highlight it. Highlighting changes the icon to a white picture
on a black background. To confirm your selection, press the
appropriate soft key.

Option Buttons

Some lists have option buttons before each item. To select

the alphanumeric keypad to enter the number preceding
the option button. To confirm your selection, press the
appropriate soft key.

Scrolling Lists

Scrolling lists contain items that extend above and below
the screen or the selection box that contains them. To
