Using the touchscreen is the most direct interaction way. Use your finger to
place waveforms on the screen, mark areas for zoom and histograms, set
parameters in dialog boxes, enter data, and much more. Most of 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 parameter or provokes an action.
– Double-tap = double-click has the same effect as touch and hold = right-
click: Opens the on-screen keyboard or keypad, or a specific editor if avail-
able
●
Function keys and rotary knobs:
The front panel provides nearly all functions and controls to operate the instru-
ment in the classic ways, without touchscreen. As an exception, the signal bar
cannot be used with front panel controls.
●
Optional mouse and/or keyboard:
These devices work conform to Windows standards. The navigation keys on
the front panel correspond to the keys on the keyboard.
The usage of the touchscreen and navigation keys is described in detail in the fol-
lowing sections.
