Press the Menu key to open the Menu screen. Select the desired operating mode by touching one of the large mode icons in the top row or by touching one of the user-created shortcuts below. User-created shortcuts may include measurement setups or submenu key shortcuts. Shortcuts can be added, deleted, or moved as described below.
Measurement mode icons are pre-installed and cannot be moved or deleted. The smaller shortcut icons are easily created or deleted by the user.
Help for the Menu Shortcut screen is available by pressing the Help Shortcut icon in the lower-right corner of the display when the Menu screen is active.
The shortcut icons on the left of the Menu screen are available for direct access. These shortcuts do not appear in Classic mode and are therefore not available for direct access. The shortcuts are only available in Classic mode by pressing the Menu key.
Create a Menu Shortcut for a Submenu Key
Press and hold down any submenu key to add a shortcut to the Menu screen. After a few seconds the Menu screen will be automatically displayed showing the available locations for the shortcut. Select an unused location to store the new shortcut.
Create a Menu Shortcut for a Setup File
Press File (1) then the Recall submenu key to display saved files. Locate the setup file to shortcut and then using the touchscreen press and hold on the file name for a few seconds. The Menu screen will automatically be displayed. Select a location to save the setup file shortcut icon.
User-defined shortcuts will stay in memory until deleted. To delete or move a shortcut button, press the Menu key then press and hold the shortcut for approximately 3 seconds. The Customize Shortcut dialog box allows the shortcut to be deleted or moved (Figure: Customize Shortcut). If Move is selected, a green rectangle will outline the shortcut button. Touch the new location where the button is to be placed. If the location is empty, the outlined button will move there. If the location contains a button already, the buttons will swap locations.
