USING THE
MOUSE

serial mouse. The mouse must use a female DB9 female connector. A 9-
pin male to 9-pin male gender changer and null modem adapter is also
required.

DB9 Male to DB9 Female Null Modem Cat.#: 26-264
DB9 Male to DB9 Male Gender Changer. Cat.#: 950-0256
Note: Since the mouse uses the RS-232C serial communications port,
it is not possible to use the mouse and support RS-232C
communications at the same time.
Note: The front panel keypad remains active at all times.
The 7030 can be completely operated from the mouse. Pressing the right
mouse button is the same as pressing the MENU key on the front panel.
Moving the mouse will cause the “pointer” to move about the screen. In the
menu system, pressing the left mouse button is the same as pressing the
ENTER key.
Pressing the left mouse button from the measurement view will display an
image of the front panel channel keys. At this point moving the “pointer”
over one of the images of a front panel key and pressing the left mouse
button will have the same effect as pressing the key itself. Pressing the
right mouse button returns to the measurement view.
To enable the mouse:
1) From the main menu, choose COMMUNICATIONS.
2) Position the “pointer” over the “checkbox” next to the label “
Mouse
Enabled
”, and press the ENTER key.
