Softkeys
Softkeys are virtual function keys whose actual function is defined by the soft-
ware, depending on the currently selected measurement mode or key, or both.
Sometimes, more functions are available than softkeys can be dis-
played at the same time. In this case, a second or third menu of func-
tions is available, indicated by "1/2" and "2/2" (or "1/3", "2/3", "3/3",
respectively) beneath the softkeys in the display. To switch between the menus of
softkey functions, press the "More softkeys" key beneath the softkeys on the front
panel of the R&S
EDS300.
Measurement settings and results area
During a measurement, the available settings are displayed at the top of the
screen; the measurement results at the bottom. If a general instrument setting or
data management function is selected, the settings and information are displayed
in the main part of the screen.
Which settings and results are displayed depends on the current measurement or
instrument function.
See the R&S
EDS300 User Manual for details.
Status bar
The status bar at the bottom of the screen contains information on the operating
status of the instrument and connected devices.
