Introduction
Conventions
Conventions
The conventions used in this manual to illustrate instrument keys and display
information are as follows:
This is an example of a hardkey. Hardkeys (located to the right of the display) are
used to give access to different sets of instrument settings, or select dedicated
instrument functions. The key shown here displays the transmit settings.
This is an example of a softkey. Softkeys (located below the display) are used to
select instrument settings. The values associated with softkeys change as you move
the display cursor from one instrument setting to another.
These are the cursor control keys. They are used to move the display cursor from
one instrument setting to another.
This is an example of a pop-up menu. Pop-up menus are an alternative way of
selecting instruments settings (instead of using softkeys). To access a pop-up menu,
highlight an instrument setting, then use the
key.
This symbol (when it appears next to settings on the display) indicates that there is a
pop-up application associated with the instrument setting. To access a pop-up
application, highlight the instrument setting which has this symbol, then use the
key.
This symbol appears at the bottom right of the display when an optical transmit
module is fitted to the instrument. The symbol’s background changes from black to
yellow when the optical output goes active.
