Returns to the Select an instrument menu.

Returns to the previous menu level within an instrument menu or escapes from an input prompt. When you reach the top of an instrument’s menu, the PRV_MENU label disappears.

MORE

The screen can show a maximum of five menu choices at a time. When there are more than five menu choices, function key f6 becomes labeled MORE. Press MORE to display the next group of choices. By repeatedly pressing MORE you can display all groups of choices. After you have displayed all groups of choices, pressing MORE again returns to the first group of choices.

UTILS

RCL_PREV Recalls the last command entered from the terminal interface. After recalling a command, it can be edited or re-executed. You can recall from a stack of previously executed commands by repeatedly pressing RCL_PREV. When you reach the bottom of the stack (the last line in the buffer), pressing RCL_PREV does nothing except to cause a beep.
