Softkeys
Softkeys are virtual keys provided by the software. Thus, more functions can be provi-
ded than those that can be accessed directly via the function keys on the instrument.
Softkeys are dynamic, i.e. depending on the selected function key, a different list of
softkeys is displayed on the right side of the screen.
A list of softkeys for a certain function key is also called a menu. Softkeys can either
perform a specific function or open a dialog box.
The "More" softkey indicates that the menu contains more softkeys than can be dis-
played at once on the screen. When pressed, it displays the next set of softkeys.
Recognizing the softkey status by color

You can hide the softkey display, e.g. when using remote control, to enlarge the display
area for the measurement results ("Setup" > "Display" > "Displayed Items"). See the
User Manual for details.

Context Menus
Several items in the diagram area have context menus (for example markers, traces or
the channel bar). If you right-click on one of these items (or tap it for about 1 second), a
menu is displayed which contains the same functions as the corresponding softkey.
This is useful, for example, when the softkey display is hidden.
