Means of manual interaction
For the manual interaction with the R&S
SMCV100B, you have several methods
that you can use as an alternative to perform a task:
●
Touchscreen:
Touchscreen operation is the most direct way to interact. Almost all control
elements and actions on the screen are based on the standard operating sys-
tem concept. You can tap any user interface element to set parameters in dia-
log boxes, enter data, scroll within a dialog etc., as if you work with a mouse
pointer.
Tapping the screen works like clicking mouse buttons:
– Touch quickly = click: Selects a parameter or provokes an action.
– Touch and hold = right-click: Opens a context-sensitive menu.
– Touch and swipe = drag: Scrolls through the contents of a display element
larger than the screen, e.g. a list or a table.
●
Function keys and rotary knob:
The front panel provides nearly all functions and controls to operate the instru-
ment in the classic way, without touchscreen.
●
Optional mouse and/or keyboard:
These devices work like known from PCs. The navigation keys on the front
panel correspond to the keys on the keyboard.
This manual describes the manual interaction with the instrument via the touch-
screen. It mentions the alternative methods using the keys on the instrument or
the on-screen keypads if it deviates from the standard operating procedures. The
