STATISTICS swipe screen
The STATISTICS swipe screen contains information about the readings in the active reading buffer.
When the reading buffer is configured to fill continuously and overwrite old data with new data, the
buffer statistics include the data that was overwritten. To get statistics that do not include data that
has been overwritten, define a large buffer size that will accommodate the number of readings you
will make. You can use the Clear Active Buffer button on this screen to clear the data from the active
reading buffer.
If multiple watch channels are set up, you can use the Channel arrows to change the display to show
the statistics for each watch channel.

SECONDARY swipe screen
The SECONDARY swipe screen allows you to display the results of two measurements on the
front-panel display.
To start displaying secondary measurements, select the Second Function and select Secondary
Measure. Secondary measurements are only available in Continuous Measurement Mode and
Manual Trigger Mode. This feature is only available from the front panel of the instrument.
Refer to "Display results of two measure functions" in the Model DMM6500 Reference Manual.
