Softkeys
Softkeys are virtual function keys whose actual function is defined by the software,
depending on the currently selected measurement mode or key, or both.
Sometimes, more functions are available than softkeys can be displayed at the same
time. In this case, a second menu of functions is available, indicated by "1/2" and "2/2"
beneath the softkeys in the display. To switch between the two menus of softkey func-
tions, press the "More softkeys" key beneath the softkeys on the front panel of the
R&S
EVSG1000.
Softkeys can perform a function directly, or open a dialog or submenu with further set-
tings and functions. Some softkeys are directly associated with an input field in the
measurement settings area of the window. If the softkey shows a vertical blue line at
the edge, you can edit the value of the corresponding setting directly in the measure-
ment settings area of the window. If the blue line is not shown, the setting is read-only.
To toggle between the edit mode and read-only mode, select the softkey again.
