Function
parameter
input

Select the corresponding menu item to switch sub options of the
menu item. Change the parameter value by inputting digit via the
keyboard after switching to a specific sub option. For instance,
the sub option is “AUTO/MANUAL”, and generally the
parameters can be changed when the sub option is set as
“MANUAL”.

Option

The menu item is one of a group of attributes, and the
corresponding menu item is selected and provided with
corresponding specific attribute. For instance, when “SINE” menu
item in the amplitude modulation waveform menu bar is selected,
the current modulation waveform is sine.
