When the instrument is first powered on, the display defaults to the
Main panel. The Main panel looks like this:
Along the top is the Analyzer section, which usually shows one, two,
or three real-time readings. Across the middle is the Generator
section, which shows the operating parameters of the digital or analog
generator. The bottom section is for the soft keys, which change
function depending on various instrument conditions.
The PANELS key provides access to the Main panel, as well as the
Generator Only panel, the Analyzer Only panel, the Setup panel, and
the Status Bits panel. Usually the first press of the PANELS key will
take you to the Main panel, and subsequent presses of the PANELS
key will cycle through the other panels, returning you to the Main
panel after all the other panels have been seen.
The BARGRAPH key provides access to the Bargraph panel, which
looks like this:
This panel has up to three real-time readings at the top like the Main
panel. The generator and soft key areas have been replaced with a
horizontal bargraph. This bargraph shows a real-time analog-like
display of a selected reading. See page 4-51 for more discussion of
the Bargraph panel.
