display
The functions of these are as follows:
Pushbuttons
– Clicking the mouse on a pushbutton toggles an
option on and off. For example, clicking the State button in the
Output section turns the 3152B output on. To help indicate this, the
button then appears as though pushed in, and a red bar at the
center of the button appears to be illuminated. Clicking the Output
button a second time turns off the output, and then the button no
longer appears pushed in or illuminated.
LEDs
–LEDs indicate which of the parameters are displayed on the
digital display. A red LED indicates that the parameter name next to
this LED is selected. Only one LED can be “on” at a time.
HINT
To turn on an LED, click on the LED or on the text next
to it. The selected parameter is then indicated by a
darker LED shade.
Radio Buttons
– Radio buttons are used for changing operating
modes, or selecting between mode options. One of the radio
buttons is always “on”, with a red dot in its center to indicate its
state. These are referred to as “radio buttons” because only one
can be on at a time, as with a radio that has preset buttons.
Dial
– The dial is a tool for adjusting a number in the display area.
To use the dial, point to it with the mouse and then press and hold
the left mouse button. While holding the mouse button down, move
the mouse in a clockwise circle to increase the displayed number,
or counterclockwise to decrease the number. The dial modifies
digits at the cursor position, and allows modification within the legal
range of the displayed parameter. Once you have reached the end
of the range, further dial movement has no effect on the display.
You may also change the display reading without the dial by using
the [
↑
], or [
↓
] keys, or by simply typing the desired number using the
computer keyboard.
NOTE
After you change the displayed number, the 3152B will
be updated with the new parameter only after you click
on the Modify/Execute knob.
Digital Display
– The digital display is a tool for displaying various
3152B parameters, just as on a physical control panel.
Note
The normal color of a displayed number is dark blue. If
