General information concerning MENU

Menu and HELP displays

Whenever a pushbutton is depressed the corresponding menu
will be displayed except for: EXIT MENU/REMOTE OFF 

,

ANALOG – DIGITAL 

, AUTOSET 

, RUN – STOP 

 and MAG

x10 

. The menus offer options which may then be selected

with the blue pushbuttons. All pushbuttons are on/off.

Exiting a menu:

The user may set a time after which the menu will be left.

Before the time set as described has elapsed a menu can
be exited by pressing EXIT MENU.

3

rd

Only manually if the function ”Man“ was selected 

.

4

th

Pressing the same pushbutton again.

5

th

Pressing another pushbutton.

If a menu shows a knob symbol 

 this pertains to the INTENS

knob 

 

. It allows to change settings. Also arrows may be

shown which point to available submenus.

In some modes some pushbuttons or knob operations are
meaningless and will hence not cause a menu display.

STOP

Please note:
If a menu is shown some other information
displayed in the readout may disappear, this will
reappear immediately upon leaving the menu.

Each menu is assisted by HELP texts, which can be called by
pressing the HELP 

 and which will be also displayed by the

readout. If HELP was called and the INTENS knob 

 moved

an explanation of the actual INTENS knob 

 function will be

given. HELP will be left by pressing the pushbutton again.

STOP

Please note:
During the display of help texts and menus in full
size no signal display is possible.

Remarks

In operation all relevant measuring parameters will be shown
in the readout, provided the readout was activated and its
intensity is sufficient.

The front panel LEDs add to the operating comfort and give
more information. In the end positions of the control knob an
acoustical signal will sound.

Apart from the POWER 

 pushbutton all control elements

are scanned and stored. This allows to control the instrument
from stored information. Some controls and menus are only
operative in DSO mode or change their meaning in this mode.
Explanations are given with the warning: ”Only in DSO mode.“
