Configuring the Instrument

Setting the Date and Time

The Test Set has a built-in clock that keeps track of the date and time. It is powered by an internal battery to keep it operating when the instrument is off.

To set the date and time

Step 1. Access the INSTRUMENT CONFIGURE screen.

Step 2. Select the Date field and use the DATA ENTRY keys to enter the date (MMDDYY -- October 31, 1997 = 103197).

Step 3. Select the Time field and use the DATA ENTRY keys to enter the time (HH.MM -- 2:13 pm = 14.13).

Changing the Beeper’s Volume

The beeper alerts you to important operating and measurement conditions. It beeps any time a message is displayed at the top of the screen. These messages warn you of conditions such as exceeding the RF input level or trying to set a field to an unacceptable value. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not disable the beeper.

To change the beeper’s volume

Step 1. Access the INSTRUMENT CONFIGURE screen. Step 2. Select the Beeper field to display the volume choices. Step 3. Select the desired choice.

Turning Off User Messages

To turn off user messages

Step 1. Access the INSTRUMENT CONFIGURE screen.

Step 2. Set the Display User Mssgs field to No.

To display user messages

Step 1. Access the INSTRUMENT CONFIGURE screen.

Step 2. Set the Display User Mssgs field to Yes.
