Quick Start
One of the first things you will want to do with your instrument is to
become acquainted with the front panel. We have written the exercises
in this chapter to prepare the instrument for use and help you get
familiar with some of its front-panel operations.
The front panel has several groups of keys to select various functions
and operations. A few keys have a
shifted
function printed in blue below
the key. To perform a shifted function, press (the
SHIFT
annunciator
will turn on). Then, press the key that has the desired label below it.
For example, to select the Utility Menu, press
.
If you accidentally press , just press it again to turn off the
SHIFT
annunciator.
