DISPLAY
Your instrument uses a 4 line vacuum fluorescent display, VFD, to display
information. Brightness can be adjusted in the SYSTEM TEST mode.
SMART KEYS

quick navigation of the machine interface. The functions of these keys change
depending on the mode of operation. Each SMART KEY is clearly and
concisely labeled to assist you in programming your instrument.
