been selected, pressing the same function key again displays the floating menu associated with
that function. For example, when the TEST function has been selected, pressing the TEST key
again displays the TEST floating menu.
Mouse Option
When a mouse is connected to the Test Set USB Connector, pressing the right mouse button
displays a pop-up menu that contains entries for the TEST
, CONFIG (Configuration) and UTILS
(Utilities) functions. Selecting the function from the menu has the same effect as pressing the
key on the front panel.
TEST Key

the TEST floating menu. Menu contents are dependent on the requirements of the System
currently operating. All test and measurement facilities of the currently selected system are
accessed via the TEST
function.

access to configuration settings for the currently selected system. When a configuration tile is
displayed on the Test Set display, pressing the CONFIG Key opens the CONFIG floating menu.
The CONFIG floating menu access the Systems menu and the Configuration Tile menu.
The Systems menu allows the user to select from the Test Set’s available systems. The contents
of this menu vary based on the options installed in the Test Set.
The Configuration menu lists Configuration Tiles that allow user to define Test Set parameters
for the current operating system. The contents of the Configuration menu change according to
the requirements of the System currently operating.
UTILS Key
This key selects the UTILS (Utilities) function. When the UTILS (Utilities) function is selected,
pressing the UTILS key displays the Utilities floating menu. The UTILS (Utilities)
function
provides access to general Test Set features which are not system specific.
TAB Key
When the TEST function is selected and the display Tiles are minimized, each press of the TAB
key sequentially moves the focus to a different Tile.
When the TEST function is selected and one of the display Tiles is maximized, pressing the TAB
key displays a menu listing the Tiles currently active on the minimized display. Selecting from
the menu displays the requested Tile in maximized view.
