Display
Readings can be displayed in engineering units or scientific notation (see “Units” in Section
6 for details). Annunciators indicate various states of operation. See “Front Panel Summary”
(presented earlier in this section) for a complete listing of display annunciators.
NOTE The Display and Keys Test allows you to test display digit segments and annunciators,
and check the functionality of front panel keys. These tests are accessed by pressing
SHIFT and then TEST. Refer to Section 20 for details.
Status and error messages
Status and error messages are displayed momentarily. During operation and programming,
you will encounter a number of front panel messages. Typical messages are either of status or
error variety, as listed in Appendix B.
Default settings
Model 6514 can be restored to one of five default setup configurations; factory (FACT), GPIB
and three user-saved (USR0, USR1 and USR2). As shipped from the factory, Model 6514 pow-
ers up to the factory default settings. Factory default settings provide a general purpose setup for
front panel operation, while the GPIB default settings do the same for remote operation. Factory
and GPIB default settings are listed in Table 1-2.
For front panel operation, the instrument will power up to whichever default setup was last
saved or restored. For example, if you save the present instrument setup as USR0, the instrument
will subsequently power up to the USR0 setup.
NOTE At the factory, the factory default setup is saved as the USR0, USR1 and USR2 setups.
