    3. THE KEYS The keys of the keypad respond differently to short, long, and sustained presses. ∆ keys provide new functions and allow the detection and acquisition of parameters complementary MAX/MIN to the usual elementary measurements. Each of these keys can be used independently of the others or in perfect complementarity with them: this makes navigation simple and intuitive for looking up all measurement results.
