FUNCtion key
Each press of the FUNC key immediately configures the DMM for the next
function in the list:
dcvolts: DC voltage
acvolts: AC voltage
dccurrent: DC current
accurrent: AC current
twowireohms: 2-wire ohm (resistance)
fourwireohms: 4-wire ohm (resistance)
commonsideohms: Common-side ohm (resistance)
frequency: Frequency
period: Period
continuity: Continuity
temperature: Temperature
For example, if the DMM function is configured for dcvolts, pressing the FUNC
key four times will configure the DMM for acvolts, then for dccurrent, then for
accurrent, and then finally for twowireohms, which ends up as the active function
on the DMM. If you do not want the DMM to be momentarily configured for the
other functions while getting to desired one then, press the CONFIG key
followed by the FUNC key. Next, scroll to the desired function and press the
ENTER key when the desired function is highlighted (blinking). Related ICL
command: dmm.func (on page 13-137).
FUNC key configuration
Press the CONFIG key and then the FUNC key to display a menu that allows
you to scroll through the available DMM functions. Turn the navigation wheel or
press the CURSOR keys to scroll through available functions. Press the
navigation wheel or the ENTER key to make the displayed function active when
it is highlighted and blinking. While in the configuration mode of the FUNC key,
the function takes effect for the highlighted function only when the ENTER key is
pressed (the function does not change while scrolling).
INSERT key
Press the INSERT key to append the present channels to the scan list.
