Scripts menu
The Scripts menus allow you to configure, run, and manage scripts from the front panel. Scripts are
blocks of commands that the instrument can run as a group.
The
Run
menu contains a list of scripts that you can select to run immediately. You
can also copy a script to a script that runs each time the instrument power is turned
on. You can access scripts that are in the instrument or on a USB flash drive.
The
Manage
menu allows you to copy scripts to and from the instrument and the
USB flash drive. You can also delete scripts from the instrument or USB flash drive.
The
Save Setup
menu allows you to save the present settings and configuration
lists of the instrument into a configuration script. You can use this script to recall the
settings.
The options in the
Record
menu allow you to record your actions and store them in
a macro script. The script can be run and managed like any other script using the
options in the Scripts menu or remote commands. Note that only settings are
stored; no key presses or front-panel only options are stored.
System menu
The menus under System in the main menu allow you to configure general instrument settings from
the DMM6500 front panel. Among these settings are the event log, communications, backlight, time,
and password settings, calibration, and info/manage.
The
Event Log
menu allows you to view and clear event log entries. You can also
adjust which events are displayed or logged.
The
Communication
menu opens a set of tabs that contain information about the
communications settings. Most of the tabs contain settings that you can change.
The
Settings
menu contains general instrument settings. It includes beeper and
key click, backlight brightness and timer, time and date, system access level,
password, and reading format settings.
The
Calibration
menu displays factory calibration information, including the last
adjustment date, the last calibration date, and the number of times the instrument
has been adjusted.
