How this Counter Works for You

The following is a list of some of the key things the Counter does for you.

•Presets the menus to default states and values at power-up

•The Counter’s Menu key and other front-panel keys allow you to select such things as the timebase source, the GPIB address, and the RS-232 serial-port baud rate. The Counter also allows you to store your selections in non-volatile memory; thus, these settings are not lost when power has been off or after a remote-interface reset.

•Automatically displays measurement(s) when you have selected a measurement function.

•Accepts your entry for a menu item when you press the Enter key. You must press the Enter key to complete each setting and/or selection.

•Saves user configuration settings.
