Operating the CMN-41
Overview
In the CMN-41, certain buttons function differently, depending on the parameters
selected. Once the function is determined, more detailed settings can be configured.
This section focuses on the operation of the CMN-41 according to the selected display.
See
Figure 3-1
on page 16 for information about the location of the buttons described
in this section. See Section 3 for general information on how the CMN-41 operates.
Waveform Display
Press and release the WFM function button to access the Waveform
display. The waveform graticule scales, units of measure, and critical
amplitude limits change according to the video format displayed.
Press and hold the WFM function button to access the Waveform Setup menu selection
options. (Press the SETUP or the EXIT button to clear the Waveform Setup menu.)
Table 4-1
