    2. Quick Start Instructions A. Key Functions Function Input/Output Toggles the function selected from measurement mode to source mode. V/mA/Hz Selects between volts, milliamps, and frequency modes TC/RTD Selects between temperature modes either T/C or RTD. Ohms and mV ranges are also included in these functions. Ranges/Units This key toggles through all the ranges for a chosen func- tion.
  • Page 9 3. Automated Stepping The PCL1000 can auto-step through some or all of the stored set- points for a given range. The procedure is as follows: a. Press “Shift” followed by auto. b. “Auto SPT ?” will appear. Enter the ending setpoint location.
