It displays the selected transmission standard and 
gives access to the signal parameters menu. 

 

It displays the Tools menu. 

 

It displays the Advanced menu. 

 

In general, these options are the same for all modes (Measure, Spectrum 
Analyser and TV). 

 

The specific options for a mode are placed in the menu "Advanced" pressing the 

 key. For more details about these options go to section "Specific Options" in
