HOW TO READ THIS MANUAL

Notes regarding manual style

• Except where stated, “DX” means DX-201AC/202AC/203AC/205AC in this manual.
• Auto Tracking and Turning using the Remote Controller and RC Handle are optional functions. In 

this manual, screens used in procedures are based on the instrument status the above optional 
functions are effective.

• Face 2 display is available as standard or as a factory option depending on the country of purchase.
• Location of softkeys in screens used in procedures is based on the factory setting. It is possible to 

change the allocation of softkeys.

C

Softkey allocation: "20.6 Allocating Key Functions"

• Learn basic operations in "4. PRODUCT OUTLINE" and "5. BASIC OPERATION" before you read 

each measurement procedure. For selecting options and inputting figures, see "5.1 Basic Key 
Operation".

• Measurement procedures are based on continuous measurement. Some information about 

procedures when other measurement options are selected can be found in “Note” (
