Softkey Bar
Softkeys are virtual keys provided by the software. Thus, more functions can be provi-
ded than those that can be accessed directly via the function keys on the device.
The functions provided by the softkeys are often also available via dialog boxes. How-
ever, some functions may not be accessible at all without the softkey bar.
Note:
The softkey bar is hidden while the SmartGrid is displayed and restored auto-
matically when the SmartGrid is closed.
Remote command:
Channel Bar
The channel bar provides information on firmware and measurement settings for a
specific measurement channel.
Remote command:
Diagram Footer (Annotation)
The diagram footer beneath the diagram contains information on the x-axis of the dia-
gram display, such as the current center frequency and span settings, the displayed
span per division and the number of sweep points.
Remote command:
Date and Time
The date and time display can be switched off independently of the status bar.
You can set the current date and time and configure the display format in the "General"
tab of the "Display" dialog box.
Remote command:
Front Panel
The "Front Panel" display simulates the entire front panel of the device (except for the
external connectors) on the screen. This allows you to interact with the R&S
FSW with-
out requiring the keypad and keys located on the front panel of the device. This is use-
ful, for example, when working with an external monitor or operating via remote control
from a computer.
