Using the Clear and Reset/Local Keys

The Clear key and the Reset/Local key have similar functions in the Menu and in other front-panel-key function settings, but their effects vary with the Counter’s state and condition. In general, the Reset/Local key restores the setting that was in effect when you entered the Menu or front-panel-key function, but it does not close the Menu or the function-setting display. The Clear key also restores the previous setting, but it closes the Menu or the front-panel-key function-setting display at the same time.

If you press the Reset/Local key while the Counter is taking measurements, it resets the current operation and forces the Counter to reacquire and re-measure the signal.

Pressing the Reset/Local key while the Counter is in Remote Mode forces the Counter into Local Mode and enables all of the front-panel controls.
