3)
Indicates whether or not a measurement campaign is being performed or is scheduled, according to the

4.1.2 - Keypad
The NanoVIP

keypad is equipped with 9 double-
function keys, i.e. the function of each key varies
depending on whether it is pressed once or pressed
and held for approximately 3 seconds.
Specifically, the functions represented by the icons on
the black background (

)
are activated by pressing the relevant key, whereas
the functions represented by the icons on the white

)
are activated by pressing and holding down the
relevant key.
Therefore, the instrument has 12 function keys, a
joystick with the Enter function and arrow keys, and a
key to access the Setup Menu directly, which allow for
a more immediate and effective use of the instrument.
The Power ( ) key must also be pressed for
approximately 3 seconds to be activated.
Moreover, when an alphanumerical value in a field in
the Setup Menu must be changed (Sect. 4.2), pressing
and holding down the
or
keys will accelerate
scrolling, so that the desired value can be reached
faster and easier.
NOTE
Each key is made of a special metal dome. The "click" which can be heard when pressing a key confirms
contact.
This technology is more reliable than the classic membrane with embossed keys. However, avoid pressing the
keypad too hard, as this may cause damage or the keypad to malfunction.
The use of the keypad can easily be learnt through the Setup Diagrams (Sect. 4.2) and Measurement Diagrams
(Sect. 5.1).
The table below provides a general description of the keys.

2) MicroSD card
