Navigation

The navigation keys are:

• F1 to F4 are function keys used to select

functions displayed on the screen above the
keys. The functions change in various modes.

• MENU is used to access more functions

and settings. The menu changes in various
modes.

• M/S is used to start measurement and to

save the result after measurement.

• The ARROW keys move within the display

window or in a popup window.

• ENTER opens/activates a highlighted item. It

also closes functions and confirms changes.

• BACK switches back to previous window.

• SHIFT is used to provide alternate functions

in the function bar.

This is the general rule. Details are explained
under the function description.

The Leonova main screen is divided into
three areas:

•  the menu bar (1)
•  the display window (2)
•  the function bar (3).

The function bar shows actions controlled by
the function keys F1 to F4.

The functionality of the keys F1 to F4 can be
changed to your personal settings (see next
