between channel 1 and channel 2. The left-most digit of the front panel display

 

 

 

identifies the output channel that is presently being controlled by the front panel. It

 

 

 

will indicate either a "1" for channel 1, or "2" for channel 2.

 

 

 

You can only select an output when the unit is in metering mode. Once an output

 

 

 

has been selected, only the menu commands that apply to that output will appear

 

 

 

on the display. Output -specific menu commands are identified by a 1 or a 2. Also,

 

 

 

the CV, CC, and UNR annunciators apply to the selected channel.

 

 

Selecting the DVM on Agilent 66311D/66309D units

 

 

 

Action

measurement commands. DVM measurement commands are identified by the

 

 

 

"DVM" string segment. When accessed, DVM measurement functions are

 

 

 

automatically active. Refer to example 3 for more information.
