The display at a glance

To view the full display (with all segments illuminated), press

while turning

the rotary switch from OFF to any non-OFF position. After you are done viewing

the full display, press any key to resume the normal function, depending on the

rotary switch position.

The instrument will then enter power save mode if the auto power-off (

)

feature is enabled. To wake the instrument up, perform the following steps:

Turn the rotary switch (knob) to the OFF position;

Then turn the rotary switch to any position other than square wave output and

press any key.
