Initiates the calibration mode of the meter. When pressed,

the meter is set to accept the first calibration standard.
It is also used to exit the calibration mode if the user does

not want to follow the complete calibration procedure.

When in measurement mode, the

READ/ENTER

key is used

to perform a measurement.
Single-shot measurements: When the key is pressed and

released immediately (a quick key stroke of less than 0.3

seconds), the display will blink [-Rd-] ten times and display

the measured value.
Continuous measurements: If the

READ/ENTER

key is

pressed and held, the instrument will perform a continuous

measurement during which the display is updated every

2 seconds. This can be used for indexing vials. (This

function is not available in calibration mode). After

the

READ/ENTER

key is released, the instrument will

automatically perform a single-shot measurement.

Active only during calibration mode. These scroll keys are

used to select the next calibration point.
Note: After the successful calibration of one point, the

meter automatically selects the next calibration point, or

automatically exits the calibration mode after the fourth

calibration point.
