Softkeys
Softkeys are virtual keys provided by the software. Thus, more functions can be provi-
ded than those that can be accessed directly via the function keys on the instrument.
Softkeys are dynamic, i.e. depending on the selected function key, a different list of
softkeys is displayed on the right side of the screen.
A list of softkeys for a certain function key is also called a menu. Softkeys can either
perform a specific function or open a dialog box.
The "More" softkey indicates that the menu contains more softkeys than can be dis-
played at once on the screen. When pressed, it displays the next set of softkeys.

Context menus
Several items in the diagram area have context menus, such as traces, markers, soft-
keys, or settings in the channel bar. If you right-click on one of these items (or tap it for
about 1 second), a menu is displayed with context-specific menu items for the selected
item.
If SCPI Recording is available, the context menu contains a link to the SCPI recorder
functions and a link to a help topic for the specific item.
