Display
Display format
The Model 2500 display is used primarily to display measured readings and voltage bias
source values. The top line displays measurement function readings, and the bottom line
shows voltage bias values. Channel 1 measurement function readings (MSR1) are dis-
played on the left, while channel 2 measurement function values (MSR2) appear on the
right. (You can select channel 1, channel 2, or dual-channel display with the CHANNEL
SELECT and DISPLAY TOGGLE keys; see “CHANNEL SELECT key” and “DISPLAY
TOGGLE key” below.)
Measurement reading information can be displayed using either engineering units or sci-
entific notation in either fixed- or floating-point format. Use the GENERAL/NUMBERS
selection of the main MENU to select the display format, as discussed under “Menus”
later in this section.
Engineering units example: 1.234567µA
Scientific notation example: 1.234567e -6A
Annunciators, which are located along the top of the reading/message display, indicate
various states of operation as covered previously in “Front panel summary.”
