2.1.3 Display
The display clearly shows all main settings and signal generator states.
The display is divided into the following sections:
●

Block diagram
The block diagram shows the current configuration and the signal flow in the gen-
erator with the aid of function blocks containing an on/off switch. Selecting a func-
tion block opens a list of associated setting menus. Active menus, info windows
and graphs are displayed on top of the block diagram. The block diagram can be
displayed in the foreground anytime with the
DIAGRAM key.
●
"Winbar" with labelled softkeys
Open menus are indicated by a labelled button in the "Winbar". The buttons deter-
mine the softkey functions for front-panel control. When a button or softkey is
pressed, the associated menu is displayed either in the foreground or minimized in
the "Winbar".
If required, the WINBAR is covered by a row of buttons to which menu-specific
functions of the active menu are assigned. By pressing the WINBAR key, the "Win-
bar" can be displayed in the foreground again. This allows the user to toggle
between the button and softkey functions.
For detailed information, see Chapter 4.2, "Display" , on page 89.
