Exit Menu

 Read a summary of the capabilities and specifications of the spectrum analyzer. 

About:

 view information about this application (e.g. version number) 

Sleep:

 turn off the application to save power - all current settings and data are retained. Press any of the 

four main hard keys, or the green button at the top of the unit to resume the application. 

The unit can also be turned off (Sleep mode) by pressing and holding the Home hard key for  
> 1 second. 

Note that the unit can be set to enter Sleep mode automatically after a fixed time - see System menu. 

Exit Applic.:

 exit the application and go to the home menu of the Palm PDA. To re-launch the 

application find PSAnalyzer in the Palm T|X applications screen. 

To exit this menu

 and return to the home menu press the Back (Home) hard key, or the grey area at 

the top left of the menu. 

19.17. 

Quick Menu 

 

 

Quick Menu can only be operated using the touch screen - users who wish to operate PSAnalyzer 
functions using the Navigator hard keys alone can not use Quick Menu mode.  This is because the 
Navigator keys are allocated to Marker control and no longer operate the key highlighting. 

The purpose of Quick Menu is to provide direct access to some of the more commonly used functions 
without having to select sub-menus.  Frequency setting is only available as centre/span. 

Markers (Navigator keys):

 when the quick menu is displayed (green keys), the keys of the five way 

navigator are assigned to marker control. 

Press the centre key of the navigator to turn on a marker or, if both are already on, to toggle control 
between the two markers.  Press and hold the centre key to turn a marker off. 

Press left or right to move the currently selected marker (the marker can also be moved by touching the 
screen).  Press up or down to move the selected marker to the next higher or next lower amplitude peak. 

See section 19.11 for more information. 

This menu allows you to  exit from the PSAnalyzer 
application or suspend the application (sleep 
mode); and to view information about the 
application 

Quick Menu mode is selected using the Mode 
menu.  Once selected, the two keys to the right of 
the Mode key change to become a single key 
marked Quick Menu. 

Selecting Quick Menu produces a new operating 
menu screen using dark green keys in place of 
blue.  Operation using this menu is different from 
the other menus within PSAnalyzer.
