The status buttons indicate key parameters that are set for the output signal. Most
of the status buttons are virtual keys you can use to open a corresponding menu
or dialog.

Block diagram
The block diagram shows the current configuration and the signal flow in the gen-
erator with the aid of function blocks, connected by signal lines. The following fig-
ure displays the most common elements that can appear in the block diagram.
However, it does not necessarily represent a useful configuration.

7
= Signal line (digital)
8
= Signal line (analog)
Starting from left up to the "I/Q Mod" functional block, you can see the functional
blocks provided in the baseband domain. After the I/Q modulation on the analog
RF carrier, the analog section implies the routing to the "RF" functional block.
