Digits
The DIGITS key sets display resolution for the Model 2701 from 3½ to 6½ digits. From
the front panel, setting digits for one function affects all the other functions. For example
if you set DCV for 3½ digits, the other functions will also set to 3½ digits. For remote
programming, each mainframe input function can have its own unique digits setting.
Digits has no effect on the remote reading format. The number of displayed digits does not
affect accuracy or speed. Speed is set by the RATE key.
Setting display resolution — To set display resolution, press the DIGITS key until the
desired number of digits is displayed.
Scanning

the scan. When an advanced scan is configured, each channel can have its own unique
digits setting. Details to configure and run a scan are provided in Section 7.
For remote programming, the <clist> parameter is used to configure channels for a scan.
