Organizing Frequently Used Settings as Favorites
The [User] key is a key with customizable function. Per default, pressing the key opens
the "User Menu" but you can add or remove actions, too. You can add actions to be
executed or function to be accessed upon pressing this key.
User menu and [User] key
These two functions work similar to the favorites function of browser or other programs.
They allow you to create a list of frequently used actions or to group frequently used
settings in one single dialog.
Possible applications
The User key is useful in the following situations:
●
There are functions or tasks you have to perform more frequently than others but
they are not accessible via a front panel key.
●
The required functions are grouped in a dialog that is not directly accessible from
the blocks on the home screen.
●
Your task involves the frequently loading and executing of certain SCPI scripts.
Refer to
Chapter 8.14, "How to Record / Create SCPI Lists"
mation on how to create an SCPI script.
●
A quick access to saved setups is required.
Dialog identification
To identify each dialog, the instrument uses a dedicated dialog ID. The dialog ID con-
tains the dialog position on the display and the current active tab. The action that trig-
gers the instrument to open a dialog uses this identification.
Save/Recall vs. recall setup
Sometimes, you would like to restore a specific signal generation setup and perform
further configurations based on this particular instrument state. The R&S
AREG100A
provides two ways to achieve this, by the "Save/Recall" function and by the "Recall
Setup" function.
●
"Save/Recall"
For a detailed description, refer to
Chapter 6.4, "Saving and Recalling Instrument
●
"Recall Setup"
If the "Recall Setup" is the only one user action assigned to the [User] key, press-
ing this key triggers the R&S
AREG100A to load
immediately
the user-defined pre-
set file.
7.2.1
