Operation
8.1
Basic Test Instrument Operation
The test instrument is operated using the keys and the rotary switch on the test instrument
(see section 5.4 on page 10).
Softkeys
The softkeys are assigned to different functions depending on the operating level (see section
8.3 on page 18).
Function Keys
Fundamentally, these keys have a permanently assigned function:
In some situations, for example when using the softkey keyboard (see below), an alternative
function appears at the display.
8.2
Entering Text and Numbers
A softkey keyboard is displayed for entering text, numbers and characters (e.g. for entering
an offset, a test object ID number, type designations, comments etc.), which is operated by
means of the softkeys. In the case of test instruments with touchscreen (feature E01), entry
is more convenient via the touchscreen keyboard. Alternatively, entries can also be made
with the help of a USB keyboard which is connected to the instrument.
