Figure 5-2: Scale softtool
A softtool consists of a title area with a close/re-open icon and a tabbed panel below it.
The title area remains displayed when the softtool is closed, which allows you to
reopen a closed softtool at any time.
Some controls on the softtool tabs allow you to read and modify settings (e.g. "Ref
Value" in the screenshot above), some perform actions (e.g. "Auto Scale Trace"), while
others open additional dialogs (button label ends with "...").

application, menus can be controlled with the touchscreen or a
mouse. A short tap (left mouse click) expands a menu or submenu. If a menu com-
mand has no submenu assigned, a short tap (left mouse click) opens a dialog or
directly activates the menu command. When a (sub)menu is selected, the R&S
ZND
displays the corresponding softtool.
