2.4 Using the Screen and Keypad

The essential features for operating the PT878 are the screen and keypad.
Although these features are common on portable instruments, the PT878
design offers particular features to simplify and speed operation.

2.4.1 Screen

The primary function of the screen is to display information in order for you
to accurately and easily take measurements. The PT878 screen consists of
seven parts (see Figure 6 below).

The top line of the screen is the status bar, which normally displays the
time and date. However, when you press [MENU] (the menu key), the Menu
Bar replaces the status line.
