The upper display shows the magnitude of the applied signal in volts (V) or millivolts
(mV). The lower display shows the frequency of the applied signal in Hz, kHz, or MHz.
When the input frequency is below 9 Hz, the frequency portion of the display is blank.
When the 5790A has not taken a measurement since power up, or an action such as an
input or range change has invalidated a measurement in progress, the display shows
dashes instead of numerals:
m V
add7f.eps
An overload is indicated by flashing display filled with the letter H:
kHz
add11f.eps
An under-range input generates a flashing display filled with the letter L:
kHz
add12f.eps
Measurements should not be taken as valid until the "U" (for unsettled) indicator goes
out. The unsettled indicator stays lit until the digital filter moving average window is full,
or until a measurement is complete if the digital filter is turned off.
