Display
Figure 6 shows the features of a typical display. The display shown is MEASURE mode. Near the top of the display is “Source Off.” This is the area of the display that shows what is happening in the other mode (SOURCE or MEASURE). The other parts of the display are as follows:
∙Status Bar: shows the time and date (if set in Setup mode), and shows the status of Loop Power, Battery Save, and Backlight Timeout; all of which are set in Setup mode. The low battery and backlight on annunciators also appear here.
∙Mode Indicator: Shows whether the calibrator is in MEASURE or SOURCE mode. In split screen MEASURE/SOURCE mode, there is a Mode Indicator for each window.
∙Measured Value: Shows the measured value in your choice of engineering units or percent of scale.
∙Range Status: Shows whether Auto Range is on, and what range is currently being used.
Setting Up the Calibrator
This section consists of general information that should be read before you use the calibrator.
Using the Strap and Bail
After you unpack the calibrator, attach its carrying strap as shown in Figure 7. You can adjust the strap as necessary to hang the calibrator on any sturdy support. Figure 4 also shows you how to prop open the bail to stand the calibrator at a comfortable viewing angle for benchtop use.
