Adjusting the Display
You can adjust the LCD display using features such as contrast, brightness, screen saver mode, and the
screen saver delay. You can also toggle features such as inverse video, display updating in remote mode, and
the screen saver on or off.
Contrast and Brightness
Press to decrease the display contrast.
Pressing the decrease contrast hardkey and holding it down causes the display background to gradually
darken in comparison to the text on the display. The minimum contrast setting is not a completely black
display. Some contrast between the background and the text will still be visible.
Press to increase the display contrast.
Pressing the increase contrast hardkey and holding it down causes the display background to gradually
brighten in comparison to the text on the display. If the background does not appear to change, it is probably
set to the maximum contrast.
Press
Utility > Display > Brightness.
This allows you to change the display’s brightness.
Brightness can be adjusted using the arrow keys, numeric keypad, or front panel knob. The brightness value
is set to 50 (maximum brightness) at the factory. The minimum brightness value is 1.
Inverse Video
Press
Utility > Display > Inverse Video Off On.
This toggles between inverse video mode and normal display mode.
The normal display mode for the signal generator is dark text on a light background. Inverse video mode is
light text on a dark background. Inverse video is a persistent state; it is not affected by a signal generator
preset or power cycle.
Screen Saver
Press
Utility > Display > Screen Saver Off On.
This toggles the operating mode of the screen saver.
