Viewing long displays
When entering commands containing more than 16 characters, the previously
entered characters are scrolled off the left side of the display to make room for
those being entered. The Display/Window keys (left and right arrow keys) allow
you to view the entire line by scrolling it left or right. The Display/Window keys
can also be used to view long strings such as error messages, the calibration
string (CALSTR? command), and user-defined key definitions (discussed later).
For example, press:
N Rgds/
Trig
The display shows:
By pressing the left arrow key, you can view the first part of the command while
scrolling the last part off the right side of the display. Now, by pressing the right
arrow key, you can view the last part of the command and scroll the first part off
the left side of the display.
Think of the display as a window you can move to the left or right using the
NOTE
arrow keys.
MORE INFO display
In addition to scrolling the display left and right, the Display/Window keys allow
you to view additional display information when the display's MORE INFO
annunciator is illuminated. For example, access and execute the SETACV RNDM
command from the alphabetic command menu. Now press the front panel ACV
key. Notice that the multimeter's MORE INFO annunciator is illuminated. This
means there is more information available than is being displayed. Press:
