Example 1: Setting the Date & Time and Adjusting the Brightness

In Example 1, you will set the date and time on the instrument's built-in clock and adjust the brightness of the screen.

Setting the Date and Time In this operation, you will set the date and time on the instrument.

Be sure to do this when using the instrument for the first time. Once set, there will usually be no need to reset these values. However, if the instrument has not been used for an extended period of time, the date and time may be incorrect; in such cases, you should set these values again using the same procedure. The date and time are important, as they are used as a time stamp when creating or editing files.

In this example, you will set the date to February 1, 1994 and the time to 15:30, using the following procedure.

1.Press the UTILITY button in the MENU column.

2.Select Date Time from the bottom menu. The menu shown in Figure 2 -12 will appear.
