Setting the Screen Saver Timeout
When the screen saver is enabled, it blanks the screen after no
controls have been operated for a certain period of time. The
purpose is to maximize display life. The time interval is adjustable
from one minute to one hour. To set the time interval, proceed as
follows:
1.
Press the top key next to the display. Rotate the knob until
the top line reads:
>-----SETTINGS-----<
2.
Select line 2 (next to the top line) by pressing the second
key. Rotate the knob until line 2 of the display reads
"Type:Display":
-----SETTINGS-----
>
Type: Display
Option: Format
Status: Hex
3.
Press the third key to select line 3 of the display (option):
Rotate the knob until line 3 of the display reads:
-----SETTINGS-----
Type: Display
> Option: Timeout
Status: 1 min
4.
If line 4 already shows the desired timeout value, then no
further action is necessary. Otherwise, select line 4. Then
rotate the knob until line 4 shows the desired value. This
example uses "15 min":
-----SETTINGS-----
Type: Display
Option: Timeout
<Update?: 15 Min
Press the fourth key (bottom) to update the timeout value.
Pressing any other key cancels the change.
Menu preferences are not normally retained after the
power is removed from the instrument. To make (a)
menu preference(s) permanent, make the desired
change(s) to settings first and then proceed to the
section Storing the Menu Preferences to make the
changes permanent. Following this procedure will put
the settings into non-volatile memory and allow them
to be restored during instrument power-up.
