The Virtual Front Panel
The Virtual Front Panel is a software equivalent of the front-panel key set, which
provides another alternate method for test set control. It may be displayed in a separate
window on the test set (or remote desktop) display.
Using the mouse, right-click the application display window, then select

. The Virtual Front Panel appears, as shown below:
When you click a button in the Virtual Front Panel, it performs the operation of the
corresponding test set front-panel key. The buttons at the left of the panel, named Key 1
through Key 7, perform the operation of the respective softkeys. The Rpg Up and Rpg
Down keys perform the operation of the knob.
The Virtual Front Panel is also available when using the test set directly,
provided that a mouse or other pointing device is attached to it.
