2500A Series Operation Manual, 34172 Revision C, March 2008
Front Panel Operation
2.1 Introduction
This chapter describes how to operate the 2500A Series from the front panel.
The information in this chapter pertains primarily to the 2500A Series of Gigatronics Microwave Synthe-
sizers. Note, however, that while the menus, key sequences, etc., presented in this chapter pertain prima-
rily to front panel operation, the features explained are universal for either the front panel or remote
operating modes.
NOTE: Chapter 3 provides instructions on using the 2500A Series from a remote host computer over
the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB), an RS-232 serial connection, USB or Ethernet.
2.2 Front Panel At a Glance
The 2500A Series front panel contains the controls and display for local operation of the instrument.
Some functions are not available from the front panel; they require use of a PC with a compatible remote
interface. Front panel controls are grouped according to the functions they perform. Descriptions for the
front panel controls are referenced to the numbers depicted in Figure 2-1 on the next page.
