34 Operating the Meter
Default Conditions Upon Turn-On
The Model 8718B is designed to automatically return to a basic
set of operating parameters every time it is turned on. Although
in some cases this may require additional key strokes to set up
the meter as desired, this feature is designed to minimize the
chance of making measurements while unknowingly having the
meter incorrectly configured.
The table below lists the operating parameters that can be
