3 Manual Operation
This Chapter describes the controls, displays, etc, the screen layout and how to operate the R&S NRP.
Keys
Keys on the front panel of the meter are used to manually operate the instrument. There are several
groups of keys, each group having a different function:
Softkeys
The six softkeys are rocker switches – in other words, they
can be “rocked” backwards and forwards by pressing on
the right or left side of the key.
The softkey function is context-sensitive and is indicated by
screen labelling.
For more information on the softkeys see
Menu handling
on p. 3.7 and
Dialog boxes and their control elements on
p. 3.8.
