If you make an incorrect entry in response to an input prompt, the
bottom line of the Text Output Area will show an error message. When
this happens, just select that menu choice again (f1 - f5 keys), re-type the
correct information, and press Return.
• Press PRV_MENU or ESC to return to the previous menu within an
instrument menu or escape from an input prompt. Press SEL_INST to
return to the Select an Instrument menu (see next item). Note that when
you leave an instrument and return later, you return to the same menu
location you were when you left. In addition, any information below the
Text Output Area will also be re-displayed when you return.
• In addition to the instrument menu keys, CLR_INST, RST_INST and
SEL_INST are helpful when operating instruments. These and other
utility keys are accessed by pressing the UTILS key. See “E xecuting
Commands” for information on the RCL_.... keys in this menu.
CLR_INST clears the instrument’s terminal interface input and output
buffers (remote buffers are not cleared) and returns to the top level of
the instrument menu. Press CLR_INST whenever an instrument is busy,
is not responding to terminal interface control, or to abort a command
being entered from the terminal interface.
RST_INST clears all terminal interface and remote input and output
buffers and resets the instrument.
SEL_INST returns you to the Select an Instrument menu. Note that
SEL_INST is the key “under” the UTILS key. You can easily return to
the Select an Instrument menu by pressing f8 twice.
