Now that you have a good idea how the 1500's front panel works, look again at the
operating modes. This time take a more detailed look.
Overview of the Mode Software
Again, the Series 1500 has three Operating Modes: Monitor Data, Change Data and
Change Parameter. These modes change with the MODE key. They make up the
basic software routines that run the Series 1500. Each mode has sub-routines and
different prompts that appear in the FUNCTION display whenever you press the
FCTN key.
Examine the three figures on the next pages, one for each of the modes. Under-
standing how these modes control the Series 1500 is the key to learning the control.
