Data Entry Methods
To perform a particular test or function, the tester will ask for different types of information. This means
that the methods you use to enter information will change depending on the type of information re-
quested. The four types of entry methods are described below.
Typically, the soft key below the right half of the screen confi rms your choice, although the word above
it may vary.
Menu icons
A menu icon is a graphical representation of a function you can select, such as the Diode Icon in the
DMM Menu. To select an icon, use the
LEFT
or
RIGHT ARROW
key to highlight it. To confi rm your
selection, press the appropriate soft key.
Option Buttons
Some lists have option buttons before each item. To select an item, use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys
to move the dot into the button next to the item you want. You can also use the alphanumeric keypad
to enter the number preceding the option button. To confi rm your selection, press the appropriate soft
key.
Scrolling Lists
Scrolling lists contain items that extend above and below the screen or the selection box that contains
them. To indicate that there are more items, the symbols appear to the right of the fi rst visible or
highlighted item on the list.
To select from this type of list, use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to scroll to the item, or use the keypad
to enter your choice, and press the appropriate soft key.
Alphanumeric Entry
Some selections require you to use the alphanumeric keypad. These “user-defi ned” selections have
a cursor to the right of the last character.
Use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to highlight a line for editing. Display the character, symbol, or
number you want by rapidly pressing its key as many times as needed. If you pause, the cursor moves
to the right. To backspace, press the
LEFT ARROW
key. Use the
RIGHT ARROW
key to add a space.
Use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to highlight a line for editing. When fi nished, press the appropriate
soft key to save your settings.
