Front-panel operation: After enabling null, you can edit the stored
null value by pressing
Shift >
(Menu Recall). Any previously stored
value is replaced with the new value. Turning on the menu does not
disable the null operation; the meter will resume taking
measurements when you turn off the menu.
When null is enabled, the Null annunciator lights in the display. For
ratio or difference measurement, if either input channel has a null
enabled, the
Null annunciator will flash. If you apply the difference
null, the Null annunciator will light (not flash).
