Key Functions
The following describes the functions of each of the eight keys on the key-
board. This section is intended more as a reference and contains information
that may be difficult to understand at first glance. Don’t worry though, many
of the expressions used in the following key function descriptions will be-
come clearer after you read the section of this manual titled “Modes.”
Key Description
[SHIFT] Pressing this key shifts the keyboard and accesses the func-
tions printed above the [MODE], [INTERNAL], and [HALT] keys.
A SHIFT indicator appears on the display screen to indicate
when the keyboard is shifted.
[MODE] Pressing this key switches the data analyzer unit between the
Multimeter Mode and Communications Mode.
[SETUP] Pressing [SHIFT] [MODE] enters the Setup Mode for
configuring the data analyzer unit for manual stand-alone sam-
pling.
[TRIGGER] Each press of this key while the data analyzer unit is in the
READY state (indicated when the READY indicator is on the
display screen) starts a data sampling operation.
[ENTER] The [TRIGGER] key functions as an [ENTER] key in the Setup
Mode. It is used to select values when manually setting up the
data analyzer unit in the Setup Mode.
[CH-View] This key’s operation varies according to the mode the data
analyzer unit is in.
• Communications Mode: Each press of [CH-View] while the
data analyzer unit is in the READY state or while sampling
is in progress sequentially selects each currently active chan-
nel and displays the data sampled over that channel on the
screen. Selecting a channel causes its channel indicator to
flash on the screen. After sampling is done (indicated by
the DONE indicator), each press of [CH-View] shifts the
sequence that data is sent to a graphic scientific calculator
in the following sequence:
RecTIME
→
CH1
→
CH2
→
CH3
→
SONIC
→
DIG IN
→
RecTIME
→
...
• Multimeter Mode: Each press of [CH-View] in this mode
switches the sampling channel in the following sequence:
CH1
→
CH2
→
CH3
→
SONIC
→
DIG IN
→
CH1
→
...
• Internal Mode: The [CH-View] key is disabled in this mode.
