Vector Network Analyzer MG PN: 10580-00289 Rev. K 6-47
If no other feature is currently enabled, then the rotary knob and arrow keys can change the
active trace selection. Within the individual menus that are activated from the Measure
menu, such as the Trace Format menu, you can select a setting by pressing a soft key or by
using the arrow keys or the rotary knob or a number key. Pressing number key 1 in the
Trace Format menu, for example, activates the first (top) soft key (Single in this example), and
pressing number key 4 activates the fourth soft key parameter (Quad in this example). The
Back soft key cannot be selected with the arrow keys, rotary knob, or number keys. Pressing a
number key makes the selection and returns focus to the Measure menu. When using the
arrow keys or the rotary knob, make your selection and then press the Enter key (or the
rotary knob of an MS20xxC VNA Master).
