10. Help
Pressing this hardkey causes a short description of any hardkey or softkey to be
displayed and, in most cases, a listing of related remote–operation SCPI
commands. There are two help modes available on the signal generator: single
and continuous. The single mode is the factory preset condition. Toggle
between single and continuous mode by pressing

— In single mode, help text is provided for the next key you press without
activating the key’s function. Any key pressed afterward exits the help mode
and its function is activated.
— In continuous mode, help text is provided for each subsequent key press
until you press the
Help
hardkey again or change to single mode. In
addition, each key is active, meaning that the key function is executed
(except for the Preset key).
