4.1 Introduction

This section details the configuration of the instrument locally
using the front panel membrane keys. A configuration file can
also be created on a PC and transferred to the instrument via
one of the archive media options.
In addition, up to 16 different configurations can be stored in
internal memory and restored when required.

instrument is withdrawn from its case and the internal
switch set to the 'Configuration Level Not Protected'
position – see Fig. 4.2, page 47.
