Mode

The Mode key allows you to select the available Measurement Applications or “Modes”. Modes are
a collection of measurement capabilities packaged together to provide an instrument personality
that is specific to your measurement needs. Each application software product is ordered
separately by Model Number, and must be licensed to be available. Once an instrument mode is
selected, only the commands that are valid for that mode can be executed.

Key operation can differ between modes. The information displayed in Help applies to the current mode.

To access Help for a different Mode, you must first exit Help (by pressing the Cancel (Esc) key). Then
select the desired mode and re-access Help.

For more information on Modes, pre-loading Modes, and memory requirements for Modes, see
