3.3. THE FRONT/REAR PANEL AND USER INTERFACE

This chapter will provide a brief introduction and description for the operation and functions of the front/rear panel.

The 

Front Panel GX 1030

 has a clear and simple front panel which includes a 4.3 inch screen, menu softkeys, numeric keyboard, 

knob, function keys, arrow keys and channel control area.

Figure 2: Front Panel of GX 1030

The 

Rear Panel

 provides multiple interfaces, including Counter, 10 MHz In/Out, Aux In/Out, LAN, USB Device, Earth Terminal and 

AC Power Supply Input.
