diagrams and tables on the screen, the Rohde & Schwarz SmartGrid function
helps you find the target position simply and quickly.
(For details on evaluation methods see the User Manual.)
Principally, the layout of the windows on the screen is based on an underlying
grid, the SmartGrid. However, the SmartGrid is dynamic and flexible, allowing for
many different layout possibilities. The SmartGrid functionality provides the fol-
lowing basic features:
●
Windows can be arranged in columns or in rows, or in a combination of both.
●
Windows can be arranged in up to four rows and four columns.
●
Windows are moved simply by dragging them to a new position on the screen,
possibly changing the layout of the other windows, as well.
●
All evaluation methods available for the currently selected measurement are
displayed as icons in the evaluation bar. If the evaluation bar contains more
icons than can be displayed at once on the screen, it can be scrolled verti-
cally. The same evaluation method can be displayed in multiple windows
simultaneously.
●
New windows are added by dragging an evaluation icon from the evaluation
bar to the screen. The position of each new window depends on where you
drop the evaluation icon in relation to the existing windows.
●
All display configuration actions are only possible in SmartGrid mode. When
SmartGrid mode is activated, the evaluation bar replaces the current softkey
menu display. When the SmartGrid mode is deactivated again, the previous
softkey menu display is restored.

During any positioning action, the underlying SmartGrid is displayed. Different
colors and frames indicate the possible new positions. The position in the Smart-
Grid where you drop the window determines its position on the screen.
