Calibrator output (source) function can be set using FUNCTION buttons. Push any FUNCTION button
to change function or push the button repeatedly to scroll through function modes if available (for
example DC and AC in voltage function).
Once a function is selected, you can change the main value as well as auxiliary output parameters like
frequency in AC modes or phase shift in AC power function. Function parameters can be edited in three
ways:
- Numeric keypad. Write a value directly and confirm either by softkey with appropriate unit or
ENTER button to set value in base unit (for example V).
- Cursor keys and rotary button. Push

buttons or turn rotary knob to increment/decrement
selected digit by one. Move through parameter digits using
 
buttons or push the rotary knob
to switch to digit selection mode, rotate to a new digit and confirm with another push.
- Softkeys. Values of most parameters can be also changed by softkeys x10 and :10, which change
value by order of magnitude and +/- softkey which switches polarity.
Described methods change the main parameter by default. If there are any other parameters on display,
you can switch between them using

and

select buttons. Picture above shows AC voltage function
with main value 10 V
rms
and two auxiliary parameters: signal shape and frequency. Both auxiliary
parameters have their dedicated softkey for fast access.
Additional settings are available under setup buttons SOURCE and METER. These buttons are shortcuts
to relevant sections of Device menu. See chapter 3.2 or SETUP subchapters in chapter 4 for more details.
Calibrator output can be turned on by pushing OPER button. STBY button turns output off. Output turns
off automatically on calibrator startup and function switch. Output state is indicated by LED light in
OPER button as well as green rectangle next to Source label on the right side of the display. Diagram
below Source label shows which terminals are currently being used.
With MER option installed you can also take advantage of integrated multimeter and its measurement
capabilities. Meter input can be activated and deactivated by pushing FUNC button. Similarly to
calibrator output, meter input state is indicated by LED light in FUNC button and green rectangle next
to Meter label.
