mode.
2.3 Top & Submenu Reference
The following table is a quick menu reference guide. The DFX-8 has 15 top level
menu titles, and multiple submenu items as illustrated below. The DFX-8 also has 8
‘hot menu’ subsets of the same menu structure. These are the most commonly
adjusted submenu items from each of the top level menus. They can be quickly
accessed from the main measurement screen by pressing the LEFT and RIGHT
arrow keys multiple times using the left button wheel, and pressing the UP and
DOWN arrow keys on the left button wheel to select the appropriate submenu item.
