Front Panel Features

Virtual Front Panel

The E6630A model does not include physical front-panel keys. However, if you have a 
PC mouse, monitor, and keyboard plugged in (or are working through a Remote Desktop 
interface), you can navigate front-panel functions using the virtual front panel (VFP) 
shown below. Access the VFP as follows:

1.  Right-click the mouse. 

2.  Left-click Utility (1) in the menu, as shown below. 

3.  Left-click Virtual Front Panel (2) in the menu, as shown below. 

NOTE

The PC mouse and monitor are required when using the E6630A. For ease in using the 
VFP, the PC keyboard is recommended.
