4.7.14 Completing Settings
For the entry of numeric values, the R&S
UPV distinguishes between Edit mode (iden-
tified by a green selection frame) and Direct mode (identified by a magenta selection
frame). See also the section
chapter 4.7.9, "Numeric Entries – Numeric Entry Fields"
●
Numeric entries in
Edit mode
are not adopted and set in the hardware until the
ENTER function is activated (ENTER key or rotary-knob click) or a unit is selected
using the softkey bar.
●
In
Direct mode
, numeric values entered or changed using the rotary knob are
immediately passed on to the hardware and executed.
With checkboxes, functions are activated and deactivated by the hardware as soon as
the status of the checkbox is toggled with the ENTER function. For operation using a
mouse, functions are activated/deactivated as soon as the checkbox is clicked.
With radio buttons, settings are executed by the hardware as soon as the radio button
is toggled with the ENTER function. For operation using a mouse, functions are tog-
gled as soon as the corresponding radio button is clicked.
A parameter from a selection field is also executed by activating the ENTER function.
In this case, a simple mouse click will select and activate the desired parameter.
Most settings are made without any noticeable adjustment or calculation times. If a
brief calculation time is necessary (e.g. to calculate a multi-tone signal adapted to the
FFT analysis), the calculation is performed in the background while ongoing measure-
ments continue.
