– MESSAGES DISPLAYED.
Following keys are active: 
 
 F2: 
to start / stop immediately a direct energy measurement. The energy 
counters will start increasing proportionally to the active power 
absorbed by the load. 
The results obtained cannot be memorised. 
If the active power is negative the counters will not increase. 
 F1:
(only for 4-wire measurement) to display the following screen. On the 
basis of the settings made as per paragraph 7.1 following screens are 
displayed cyclically: 
total three-phase values, values of phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3
 F3/F4:
to pass to previous/next function respectively
 SAVE:
to save in t
he instrument memory a record of “Smp” type containing
the instantaneous values of voltage and current present at the 
instrument inputs. This function is disabled during a recording 
 ENTER/HOLD: to enable/disable the HOLD function (updating interruption) of
displayed data. All previous functions remain however available. 
When the HOLD function is activated, the word 
HOLD
is displayed.
When this function is enabled it’s not possible to record nor perform 
energy measurements. This function is disabled during a recording or 
an energy measurement 
 MENU:
to enter the MENU mode and change the instrument settings (see 
paragraph 7.1 and 7.2
). It’s not possible to enter the configuration
MENU during a recording or an energy measurement
 START/STOP: to record selected parameters
according to the instrument’s settings
