Emulation of the Instrument Front Panel
SETUP - GENERAL SETUP – NEXT menu:
The
SOFT FRONTPANEL softkey switches the display of the front-panel keys on and off.
When the front-panel keys are displayed on the screen, the instrument can be controlled by clicking the
respective button with the mouse. This is especially useful when the instrument in a different site is controlled
via a remote-control program, such as, for instance, the remote desktop of Windows XP, and the screen
contents are transferred to the controller via remote link (see the section "LAN Interface - Remote Desktop
under Windows XP).
Display resolution:
When the display of the front-panel keys is switched on, the screen resolution of
the instrument changes to 1024x768 pixels. Only a section of the total screen is
then displayed on the LC display, which will automatically be shifted on mouse
moves.
In order to obtain a complete display of the user interface, an external monitor is to
be plugged into the corresponding connector at the rear panel. Prior to performing
the resolution change the user is prompted for confirmation whether the required
monitor is connected.
Switching off the front-panel display restores the original screen resolution.
Key assignment:
Button labels largely correspond to those of the front-panel keys. The rotation
function of the rotary knob is assigned to the 'KNOB LEFT' and 'KNOB RIGHT'
buttons, the press function (<ENTER>) to 'KNOB PRESS'.
The labels of the softkey buttons (F1 to F9) and of the hotkey buttons (C-F1 to C-
F7) indicate that the keys can be operated directly by means of the corresponding
function keys F1 to F9 or <CTRL>F1 to <CTRL>F7 of a PS/2 keyboard.
IEC/IEEE-bus command:
