2-2 Measurement Options Model 6517A Getting Started Manual

This section describes the details of making measurements. Conﬁguration options, trig-

gers, reading storage, and scanning are just a few of the topics discussed. You will ﬁnd this

information useful whether operating the Model 6517A from the front panel or IEEE-488

bus.

Multiple displays

Each measurement function and some operations provide “multiple displays” by using the

bottom line of the front panel. These multiple displays provide multiple type measure-

ments, show a reading in a different form, or give additional information about the

reading.

Multiple displays are summarized in this section. All the multiple displays are shown in

Table 2-1.

The NEXT and PREV (previous) DISPLAY keys scroll through the multiple displays for

the selected function or operation. The multiple display mode can be cancelled by pressing

and holding in either key.
