Softtools
Softtools display groups of related settings as a tabbed panel. They can be
opened via function keys on the (virtual) front panel, or via context menu items.
Figure 6-1: Scale softtool
The softtools are displayed in the softkey bar of the instrument. The title area of
the softkey bar displays the name of the currently opened softtool.
If you close the softkey bar using its close icon, it is automatically reopened
the next time a function key is pressed. You can change this behavior in the
"User Interface" tab of the "VNA Setup" dialog.
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 "...").
