are the most commonly adjusted features, requiring quick access from the
user. They can be displayed and scrolled by pressing the MEAS key at any
time. The MEAS key advances forward and the ESC key backwards to the
next hot menu item. Alternatively, the UP , DOWN , LEFT and RIGHT
arrow keys on the left button wheel can be used to either scroll through the
sub menu items, or advance to the next HOT MENU items list. There are 4
HOT MENU lists that contain the most commonly adjusted items from the
tabbed menus, and in the same order as the tabbed menus. Note: Some of
the lists contain multiple tabbed menu items in order to condense the number
of HOT MENU lists.
K. Units – Displays the current measurement units being used (English, Metric).
L. Gain & Step Size – The gain and increment step size can be continuously
used and adjusted at any time using the UP and DOWN arrow keys on
the right button wheel to scroll the value, and the GAIN key to activate the
Digit Edit screen to adjust the step size.

This is a visual tool that would enable the user the ability to see the length
from a graphics perspective.
