Accessing the Online Help

.
The Index tab is the second method of finding information. You can type in a
keyword and search the index for that keyword, or scroll through the list to
find a topic.
The Search tab is the third method of finding information. You can enter a
keyword and if that word exists in the online help, a list of topics containing
the keyword is shown. Because the search engine lists every topic that
mentions the search word, you may find that certain searches generate many
results. To make searching more efficient, first try searching only topic titles
(you can enable this by checking the Search Titles Only box at the bottom of
the Search pane). Then you might also use quotation marks so the help finds
words only in a given order. For example, a search for
sample rate will list
every topic that contains either the word sample or the word rate . However,
a search for “sample rate” returns only topics containing the phrase sample
rate
.
Another useful feature is the Favorites tab. To access this tab press the arrow
button next to the tabs selection area (see screen shot on previous page for
this location) to display the Favorites tab. When you are on a topic you want
to save to the Favorites tab, simply click on the Add button at the bottom of
the pane. This enables you to build up your own mini-help system of topics you
use frequently.
Hyperlinks throughout the online help allow you to reach the information you
need. Most hyperlinks will be in blue underlined text, but some hyperlinks also
have buttons (many of the reference topics) or tabs (in setup guide topics).
You can find out whether a particular item has a hyperlink by pointing to it; if
it is a hyperlink, the pointer will change to a hand icon. Clicking once will follow
the hyperlink to display a new topic with the relevant information.
Viewing the Online Help Window
The online help window always stays on top of the interface display, so you can
refer to it while working with the oscilloscope. You can move the window around
the screen or resize it to make it easier to use.
