Setting the Display Brightness

Setting Up the System

Deselecting the Through-Power Mode

When you switch the through-power mode off, the last set calibration factor becomes active, and the attenuation factor is set so that the filter attenuation does not change.

1.Press SYST repeatedly until THRUPOWR is shown at the bottom of the display.

2.Select OFF to switch off the through-power mode.

Resetting the Through-Power Mode

To reset THRUPOWR, press and hold SYST until the value resets (this takes approximately two seconds).

THRUPOWR resets to OFF.

5.4 Setting the Display Brightness

This parameter sets the brightness of the display. To set the brightness,

1.Press SYST repeatedly until BRIGHT is shown at the bottom of the display.

2.Use Modify keys to set the brightness.

Resetting the Display Brightness

To reset BRIGHT, press and hold SYST until the value resets (this takes approximately two seconds).

BRIGHT resets to full brightness.
