Organizing frequently used settings as favorites
The R&S
SMM100A provides two possibilities to define frequently used settings and
procedures for later retrieval individually.
User menu and [
★
(User)] key
These two functions work similar to the favorites function of a browser or other pro-
grams. They allow you to create a list of frequently used actions or to group frequently
used settings in one dialog.
You can collect the parameters of your configuration in a favorites list, i.e. in the "User
Menu", or define settings and actions with the [
★
(User)] key:
●
"User Menu" to group settings of specific tasks.
Similar to a favorites function, you can use this menu for:
–
Grouping the settings required for a task in one dialog.
–
Saving and recalling the settings of a task.
–
Transferring the settings for use on multiple instruments.
●
[
★
(User)] key, with customizable function.
You can perform the following steps using this key:
–
Open the "User Menu" (default functionality).
–
Add or remove settings and functions.
–
Execute actions and access functions.
Possible applications
The
★
(User) key and the "User Menu" are useful for the following situations:
●
There are functions or tasks you have to perform in a defined order but the setting
parameters are distributed across several dialogs.
●
There are functions or tasks you have to perform frequently but they are not acces-
sible via the front panel keys.
●
The required functions are grouped in a dialog that is not directly accessible from
the block diagram.
