B. Gate Time Setting (Cont'd)

The decimal point in the display is implied and not displayed as its location depends upon the units

selected. Care must be taken to note its proper location in taking measurements.

Identical scaling techniques are applicable when normalized engineering units are displayed. (See

Applications Section I for other examples of normalized time base settings.)

The general rule for scaling is: move thumbswitch setting one column to the left move readout

decimal point one column to the left. Increase multiplier one decade move readout decimal point

one column to the left.

C. Other Front Panel Controls

POWER Switch - Controls all AC power to the instrument.

RESET Pushbutton - Depression of the RESET button will return display to zero and resets

counting gate regardless of cycle condition. (NOTE: Display will not reset to zero in MEM. ON

condition if GATE is not open.) DISPLAY TIME Control Adjust for desired time setting. At

conclusion of display, reset occurs and a new count cycle is repeated automatically. When in

HOLD position, only one reading will be taken and reset must be actuated manually or by remote

methods in order to initiate a new count cycle.

MEM. (Memory) Switch - Engages (ON) or disengages (OFF), the memory logic. When in ON

position, the display is updated automatically at the end of each count cycle. In OFF, the display

follows the counting process.
