This key aborts a keypad entry by clearing the value. This key is convenient for correcting a wrong value or aborting a value entry. The display then returns to the previously set function.

Enter

This key executes the entered value or parameter of the presently accessed command. Until you press this key, the parameters you enter with the other Entry keys are displayed but not entered into the dc source. Before pressing Enter, you can change or abort anything previously entered into the display. After Enter is pressed, the dc source returns to Meter mode.
