HOW TO USE THE INSTRUMENT 4 - 53

MEASURE TOUCH, HOLD & MEASURE ™

The probes delivered with the oscilloscope offer a unique and innovative way to perform a number of functions directly from a push button mounted on the side of the probe. One of these functions is called ’TOUCH HOLD and MEASURE ™’.

The TOUCH HOLD & MEASURE ™ function is a very quick way to instantly display the four main measurements. You need only one single push button. This push button is located nearest to the place of measurement on the probe; therefore, this button is referred to as COMMAND switch.
