displayed value for slew key increment will only show two decimal places, however the
true four-decimal place value is stored internally and is the actual value added/sub-
tracted when a slew key is pressed. (For example, entering an increment of “.0055”
will result in a displayed value of “0.00;” pressing the slew key continuously for a
period of time in “Output is OFF” or Keypad control” status will verify that the pro-
grammed or actual value is changing.)

The front panel display may be blanked or disabled during remote operation. This may improve
the response time of the MBT unit during quick, successive remote operations. The dispaly may

command is received, until the unit is powered off. While the display is disabled, it will show the
message "REMOTE CONTROL".

played; press ENTER to select this function.

or 10) to keep the display disabled. Use the slew keys to select the mode that you prefer.
3. Press MENU ON/OFF to return to menu level. Press it again to exit menu system.
3.2.2.8 GPIB ADDRESSING MODE
The MBT-G supports either Primary or Secondary addressing mode for GPIB remote program-
ming. In the Secondary addressing mode, the secondary address is the channel number to
which the command will be sent. Otherwise, the channel number is selected by use of the
"INSTR" command, or by appending the channel number to the command itself.

played; press ENTER to select this function.
