Measurement Procedure

Once the instrument has been powered up, the offset function implemented and the device
under test connected, testing can begin. The operator has the choice of performing a test at
power-up conditions (test conditions at which the instrument was last powered down), or
recalling one of 50 possible stored setups. Refer to paragraph 2.5 thru 2.8 for instructions to
change the test mode and/or test conditions.
