Numeric Data Entry
At various places in the following procedures, the user is requested to provide
numeric data input to the instrument, this paragraph describes the actions
required.
Numeric data entry is initiated by pressing a numeric key on the front panel
(i.e., the digit keys 0 through 9 or the decimal point key). The display then
shows the entered numeric in the left-most character position of the display
and the remaining portions of the display will be blank. The cursor will
automatically move to under next possible character entry point, showing the
position into which the next key press will be placed. (Leading zeroes, prior
to a decimal point or prior to a non-zero numeric, are ignored.)
Up to 7 digits plus a decimal point may be entered, entries beyond this are
ignored. If no decimal point has been pressed, it is assumed to be following
the last digit pressed (e.g., an entry of
124
is equivalent to an entry of
124.0
).
The multiplier keys (m and u) may be used during numeric entries. Thus
entries of
0.001
and
1m
are equivalent. Note that certain entries must use a
multiplier, e.g., if an entry of
0.00000012
is desired, then this must be
entered as
0.12µ
.
If an error is made during numeric entry then several options exist for
correcting the data, prior to terminating the entry. The steps are the same for a
new entry or during a prompted entry.
