Adjust the backlight brightness and dimmer

You can adjust the brightness of the DMM7510 touchscreen display and buttons from the front panel
or over a remote interface. You can also set the backlight to dim after a specified time has passed
with no front-panel activity (available from the front-panel display only). The backlight settings set
through the front-panel display are saved through a reset or power cycle.

setting and the longer the screen is bright, the shorter the screen life.

1. Press the MENU key.
2. Under System, select Settings.
3. Select the Backlight Brightness. The Backlight Brightness dialog box opens.
4. Drag the adjustment to set the backlight.
