Using the touchscreen is the direct interaction way. Use your finger to place
waveforms on the screen, mark areas for zoom and histograms, set parame-
ters in dialog boxes, enter data, and much more. The control elements and
actions on the screen are based on common concepts, and you will easily
become familiar with the user interface.
Tapping the screen works like clicking mouse buttons:
– Tap = click: Selects a waveform or parameter, or provokes an action.
– Double-tap = double-click: Has the same effect as touch and hold = right-
click, it opens the on-screen keyboard or keypad, or a specific editor if
available
Use gestures to scale the waveform:
– Spread or pinch two fingers horizontally to change the horizontal scale
(timebase).
– Spread or pinch two fingers vertically to change the vertical scale of the
active waveform.
●
Function keys and rotary knobs:
The front panel provides frequently used functions and controls to operate the
instrument. Use knobs to set levels and scales, and keys to initiate actions
and to open dialogs.
●
Optional mouse and/or keyboard
