CURSOR Key
[
CURSOR]
The cursor can be thought of as a vertical line on the CRT display located at one frequency. As this
implies, there is only one cursor frequency for all channels. This frequency is displayed at the bottom of
the display screen on the frequency data line whenever the cursor has been turned on. Every channel
intersects that cursor at a particular power level. The intersections between the cursor frequency and the
signal trace of each channel is marked by a small cross (+). The power level of each channel at the
cursor frequency is displayed in the channel summary information area of the screen.
Markers are an important feature of the 8003, and are intimately related to the cursor. The 8003 always
knows the frequency of the signal through its control of the source and monitoring of the sweep ramp
input. This allows the 8003 to place frequency markers on the signal trace without using any source
marker capability. As a result, the 8003 cursor capability is only usable when the entry channel is in the
swept mode. If the entry channel is in the CW mode when the
[CURSOR]
key is pressed, all of the
softkey labels will be in dim, dark blue and pressing any of the softkeys will have no effect.
Markers are displayed on the 8003 as small circles on the traces at specific frequencies. Markers are
channel independent like the cursor. When a marker is set at a particular frequency, the marker will be
visible on all channel traces. The 10 markers available in the 8003 are set by moving the cursor to the
desired frequency, and then by defining the marker to be at that frequency.
The FUNCTION
[CURSOR]
key provides access to the complete cursor and marker capability of the
8003. When the CURSOR key is pressed and the entry channel is in the swept mode, the cursor will be
turned on and the entry area of the display will indicate the cursor frequency and power for the entry
channel. You can move the cursor with either the spin knob or the keypad. The softkey menu will
change to menu F5 as shown in Figure 2-12 on page 2-42.

CURSOR FREQ]
Menu F5:
Moves the cursor. Pressing this softkey causes the entry area of the display to indicate the
cursor frequency and power for the active channel. The cursor can be moved by changing the fre-
quency with either the spin knob or the enter keypad, as desired.
[
CURSOR ON/OFF]
Menu F5:
Toggles the cursor on and off (see the Cursor
∆
Off next page). When the cursor is
turned on or off, this function will occur for all the channels. When the cursor is turned off, the
cursor
∆
is also turned off. When the cursor is turned on it is assumed that it might be desired to
change the cursor position. Therefore, the entry area of the display will show the cursor frequency
and the power at the cursor for the entry channel. The cursor can be moved by using either the spin
knob or the numeric entry keypad.
If the cursor is off and any entry made or action taken that requires a cursor, the cursor capability
will automatically be turned on.
