Displaying a Monitor Channel
Perform the procedure below to monitor an instrument analog channel (101 to
620) or computed channel (901 to 960). See Figure 2-12 for examples.

Channel Display
When you press the MON key, the first monitor channel
displayed is the channel most recently monitored. After power-on, reset,
configuration, or self-test commands, the channel displayed is the lowest
numbered configured channel. When no channels are configured, monitoring
is not available. (Under this condition, an error beep occurs when you press
the Monitor key.)
•
Monitor Display
The initial monitor display is a series of dashes, which lasts
for approximately one second. The measurement then appears in the primary
display (the secondary display shows the Global Channel Number). The MON
(monitor) annunciator is on when monitoring.
•
Monitor Reading Updates
The instrument updates monitor readings once
per second.
