Recognizing the softkey status by color
In the factory configuration, a softkey is highlighted orange when a corresponding dia-
log box is open. If it is a toggle softkey, the current state is highlighted blue. If an instru-
ment function is not available temporarily due to a specific setting, the associated soft-
key is deactivated and its text is colored gray.
Some softkeys belong to a certain (firmware) option. If this option is not implemented in
your device, the associated softkeys are not displayed.
Hiding softkeys
You can hide the softkey display, e.g. when using remote control, in order to enlarge
the display area for the measurement results. When you press a function key on the
front panel, the softkeys are displayed temporarily, enabling you to perform a certain
task with the softkeys. They are then automatically hidden again when they have not
been used for a specified time. Any edit dialog boxes required for entry remain in the
display.
1. Press the [DISPLAY] key.
2. In the "Display Settings" dialog box, select "Softkey Bar State: Off".
The softkeys are no longer displayed.
► To display the softkeys again, select "Softkey Bar State: On".

Context-sensitive Menus
Markers and traces in the display, as well as the information in the channel bar, have
context-sensitive menus. If you right-click on a marker or trace in the display, or infor-
mation in the channel bar (or touch it for about 1 second), a menu is displayed which
contains the same functions as the corresponding softkey. This is useful, for example,
when the softkey display is hidden (see
