described in two separate help systems.
C
MODE opens a dialog to switch between the network analyzer
and spectrum analyzer modes.
C
MENU activates the highest softkey menu level of the current
spectrum analyzer context. For detailed information refer to the
spectrum analyzer help system (HELP). In network analyzer
mode, use the Function Keys or the menus across the top of the
main application window.
1.1.3 Function Keys
The keys in the upper right part of the front panel provide direct access to the most
important measurement settings. Each key opens a drop-down menu (softkey menu)
or activates a menu command (softkey) of the graphical user interface. The softkeys
are hidden after a while to make room for the display and the measurement results.
The links in the short descriptions below will take you to the detailed description for the
network analyzer mode. If the spectrum analyzer option (R&S ZVL-K1) is active, the
keys have a similar function. The network analyzer keys SCALE, FORMAT, and CAL
have no direct equivalent in spectrum analysis; they are replaced by the AMPT, TRIG,
and RUN keys, respectively.
C
CENTER or SPAN define the center frequency and the width of the sweep range.
C
SCALE defines how the current trace is presented in the diagram. If the spectrum
analyzer option (R&S ZVL-K1) is active, the key provides additional functions
affecting the displayed signal amplitude (AMPT).
C
PWR BW defines the power of the internal signal source, sets the step attenuators
and the IF bandwidths.
C
SWEEP defines the scope of measurement, including the sweep type, the number
of points, the measurement delay and the periodicity of the measurement.
C
FORMAT defines how the measured data is presented in the graphical display. If
the spectrum analyzer option (R&S ZVL-K1) is active, the key provides trigger
settings (TRIG).
C
MKR positions markers on a trace, configures their properties and selects the
format of the numerical readout.
C
MARKER-> provides marker functions that allow you to search for values on
traces, define the sweep range, scale the diagram, and introduce an electrical
length offset.
