Agilent Technologies E1300B, E1301B, 75000 SERIES B user manual How to Access the Utility Keys

If you make an incorrect entry in response to an input prompt, the bottom line of the Text Output Area will show an error message. When this happens, just select that menu choice again (f1 - f5 keys), re-type the correct information, and press Return.

•Press PRV_MENU or ESC to return to the previous menu within an instrument menu or escape from an input prompt. Press SEL_INST to return to the Select an Instrument menu (see next item). Note that when you leave an instrument and return later, you return to the same menu location you were when you left. In addition, any information below the Text Output Area will also be re-displayed when you return.

•In addition to the instrument menu keys, CLR_INST, RST_INST and SEL_INST are helpful when operating instruments. These and other utility keys are accessed by pressing the UTILS key. See “Executing Commands” for information on the RCL_.... keys in this menu.

CLR_INST clears the instrument’s terminal interface input and output buffers (remote buffers are not cleared) and returns to the top level of the instrument menu. Press CLR_INST whenever an instrument is busy, is not responding to terminal interface control, or to abort a command being entered from the terminal interface.

RST_INST clears all terminal interface and remote input and output buffers and resets the instrument.

SEL_INST returns you to the Select an Instrument menu. Note that

SEL_INST is the key “under” the UTILS key. You can easily return to the Select an Instrument menu by pressing f8 twice.
