Operating the Counter
Introduction
While this counter has a vast array of features and operating
modes, the majority of the most useful functions can be learned
in just a few minutes. The following descriptions and exercises
will help you grasp the basics of operation. They will also serve
as an introduction to some of the more advanced features. It
will take you about half an hour to gather experience enough to
continue exploring the world of counting on your own.
User Interface
The fundamental idea has been to facilitate even complex
measurements by a consistent interactive user interface that
fully exploits the large graphic display. The casual as well as the
frequent user will benefit from a combination of hard and soft
keys. In this context hard keys either act immediately or open
fixed menus, whereas the function of soft keys depends on the
display information.
Getting Familiar with the
Counter
The front panel is laid out in a logical fashion. Take a few seconds
