Keys, Softkeys, and the Entry Knob
On the front panel, “key” refers to any key (button) you can press. “Softkey” specifically
refers to the six keys that are directly below the display. The legend for these keys is
directly above them, on the display. Their functions change as you navigate through the
oscilloscope’s menus.
In this manual, instructions for pressing a series of keys are written in an abbreviated
manner. Pressing the [Utility] key, then the Language softkey, then the Help softkey is
abbreviated as follows:
Press [Utility]&Language&Help.
Press and hold any key or softkey to view its built-in Quick Help.
When the Entry knob symbol appears on a softkey, you can use the Entry knob, to
select values.
For easy one-handed operation of the 7000 Series oscilloscopes, the Entry knob can be
pushed as well as rotated. Rotating the knob moves through selectable items, and
pushing the knob implements the selection.
Six softkeys are located below the display. To understand the symbols used in the softkey
menus and throughout this guide, see “Graphic Symbols in Softkey Menus” on
page 176.
The Digital Channel Controls are used to select and reposition digital channel waveforms
and to display the Digital Channel Menu of MSO model oscilloscopes.
To find out how to use a key or connector, see “Controls and Connectors” on page 351.
The simplest way to set up the oscilloscope is to connect it to the signals of interest and
press the [AutoScale] key.
