Soft Keys - Snap-On Scope/Meter M2 Quick Start Manual

Soft Keys

The eight soft keys located above the Rotary Switch are used to initiate a
variety of additional functions while performing meter tests. Short presses
(momentary) and long (press and hold) presses of the soft keys have
different results. Soft key operations are unique when in the oscilloscope
mode, see "Oscilloscope/Waveform Viewer" on page 6 for details. The
table below briefly describes soft key operations:

A short press switches the displayed value
to a relative reading, a long press returns
the display to a normal reading.
A short press freezes, or pauses, the data
being displayed. A second press returns the
display to live data.
Changes the measurement range when in
Volts DC, Volts AC, Resistance, Auxiliary,
capacitance, graphing or scope modes.
Available only in graph and oscilloscope
modes, this soft key is used to change the
time base.
A short press of the Special Functions key
switches between functions (Hz, Pw, etc.), a
long press returns to the original setting.
Available functions vary by test mode.
The Min/Max key displays the minimum and
maximum sampled signal values along with
the current value.

Short presses of the Range key switches
the precision of the displayed value
incrementally. A long press returns the value
to Auto ranging.
A short press of the Graph key switches the
display from a digital readout to a histogram,
or graph. A long press switches the display
back to digital.
