Multifunctional switch

Some special instrument functions can be started manually using the multifunctional switch near the indication LEDs. These

functions are available in analog as well as in digital operation mode.

3.5.2.1

Normal operating functions

·

In order to access these functions, press and hold the switch while the instrument is in normal operation mode (green

LED lit continuously).

·

As long as the switch is held, the LEDs show a repeating sequence of patterns, where each pattern indicates a function.

·

All patterns in this sequence are continuous.

·

Each pattern is shown for a number of seconds; in the table below, the column labeled 

Hold time

 indicates the time frame

during which a pattern is shown.

·

To start a function, release the switch when the LEDs show the pattern of the required function.
