Manual Operation > Setting Parameters > Working with Units
Working with Units

The unit of a parameter is displayed next to the value. When the parameter is edited, the unit is selected either from the list or by means of the front-panel keys. When the entry is completed, the unit can be changed. In this case the value remains unchanged but is automatically adapted to the new unit.

While operating the instrument by means of a mouse, assign the unit to the selected parameter before entering its value.

Assigning a unit

To assign a unit to a value, use one of the following alternatives:

  1. Press a UNIT key on the front panel.

  2. Select a "Unit" in the selection field next to the parameter value.

    Press the ENTER key.

    The unit displayed in the entry field next to the value is assigned.

Changing a unit

To subsequently change a unit, i.e. after the entry has been terminated and when the editing mode is not active, use one of the following alternatives:

  1. Press a UNIT key on the front panel.

  2. Select"Unit" in the selection field next to the parameter value.

    The value remains unchanged but the display is automatically adapted to the new unit, i.e. the value is recalculated to suit the new unit.

    The new unit is indicated in the value field of the menu.
