How to use the front panel

Make sure the unit is turned on.

From the System key group

Local

Press Local to activate the front panel keypad if the unit is not already in local mode. (If the Local Lockout command is in effect, cycle power to return the unit to local mode.)

From the Function key group

Voltage

Press Voltage to select the voltage function. To select a different function, simply press the appropriate key.

To select a function appearing above a key (such as Current), first press the blue shift key, then press the key below the function.
