5.3 Accessing the Functionality
You control the instrument with function keys and softkeys. Softkeys are located below
the screen; their current functionality is shown in the menu.
Function keys (hardkeys)
Depending on the function behind, the function keys have different effects:
●
Most of the function keys open the associated menu - for example, FILE, MEAS,
ACQUISITION.
●
Another group of function keys directly start an action or change a parameter - for
example, AUTOSET, PRINT, RUN CONT, MODE.
●
The FFT and ZOOM keys start the corresponding display mode and open the
associated menu.
To leave the display mode:
–
If the main menu of the mode is shown, press the function key once.
–
If a submenu of the mode is shown, press the function key twice - first to return
to the main menu and second to close the display mode.
–
Press the "Off" softkey in the main menu of the mode.
Using menus
A menu can have several menu levels. If a lower menu level is available, it is indicated
by a small arrow on the softkey. If a menu level has more than 7 functions, they are
arranged on two or more pages. The "More" key on the right switches the menu page.
It shows the overall number of pages on the current menu level and the number of the
selected page.
