conjunction with the F.DIGIT button. Pressing the F.DIGIT
button toggles the step size between 10 kHz, 100 kHz, and 1
MHz. The current step size is displayed on the FRQ ADJ line of
the display. Turning the knob clockwise increases the frequency
by the selected step size. Counter-clockwise rotation decreases
the frequency by the selected step size.

measurements, pressing this button initiates the internal System

in order to guard against accidental changes during a
measurement. The status of the lock function is displayed on the

the unit and counter-clockwise to turn it off. The volume control
changes the audio level for the alarm output.
