See the following figure (labeled "Active channel display example") for an active
channel example. The 4W and AUTO range annunciators are lit (1). Also, the
active channel is 1004 (Slot 1, Channel 004) (2). The present state of the
channel is open and it has two poles (3). The present state of the attributes for
this channel (4) are:
4W function set for AUTO range
Dry-circuit ohms disabled (DRY-)
Offset compensation off (OC-).
Other attributes, such as NPLC, are available for this specific active channel
(1004) as indicated by arrow (5) being lit. View them by turning the navigation
wheel (6) to scroll through the attribute list.
NOTE Access attribute and menu lists that are larger than the display by
turning the navigation wheel (6). Displayed arrows (5) indicate
additional attributes or menu items (as applicable) that are available
by turning the navigation wheel (6) in the direction the arrow points. If
