Macros must be defined within an program. If no User
program is currently installed (either by AUTOST or
Recall

User BEGIN OFF selects the key menu to “user” mode when
ON, and to normal operation when OFF.
Once you have changed the User BEGIN mode to ON, the same menu will
be displayed for subsequent key presses of the (This is not
true if your program has changed. If the program has changed, the
User mode is reset to OFF.)
Use of the User function does not restrict access to any normally
available instrument feature such as marker functions, etc., nor does this key
affect sweep update rates.
Refer to example programs provided on the programs disk for
implementation requirements. Keystroke recording may be used to modify or
update User BEGIN programs.
