MODE=Selects the settings or escapes from error traps, calibration procedures, etc..by returning to the original mode.
↑↓=Buttons for browsing between the selected modes, for entering a value or for selecting a function.
OK=Proceeds a function.
CAL=Starts a calibration.

The measuring electrodes should be connected to the coaxial connectors CH1 or CH2. Automatic temperature compensation and measurement are possible by connecting a Pt1000 temperature compensator to the banana connectors °C1 or °C2. Without compensator, the manual temperature compensation is automatically switched on. Model C34xx has two extra DIN connectors in parallel with CH.1 and CH2. NEVER use DIN- and BNC- channels together!

A standard USB or Ethernet port is provided for interfacing the instrument with a computer or network.

A standard RS232 port is provided for interfacing the instrument with a printer. Data is sent in the ASCII code at a BAUD rate of 1200…115200 bps (8 bit, no parity, 1 stopbit).
