Making Measurements
Using the BEGIN Key to Make Measurements
The User BEGIN Function (Option lC2 only)
The User BEGIN softkey gives you the capability to redefine the C-1 key
menu and install user-defined macro functions. The USW REGIN key is only
available if your analyzer has BASIC (Option lC2) installed. Use this key to
define macros such as:
l Softkeys to implement fast save/recall
l Softkeys to implement most used functions or features
l Softkeys to implement often-used features that involve a number of steps
Macros must be deiined within an IBASIC program. If no VWW BEGIN
program is currently installed (either by AUTOST or RwxXI, Program) the
analyzer will automatically create a default program.
USB~ BEGIN oft OFF selects the [BEGIN] key menu to %ser” mode when
ON, and to normal operation when OFF.
Once you have changed the U%W RRGI# mode to ON, the same menu will
be displayed for subsequent key presses of the (-1 hardkey. (This is not
true if your BASIC program has changed. If the program has changed, the
User BEGJN mode is reset to OFF.)
Use of the User BEGIN function does not restrict access to any normally
available instrument feature such as marker functions, etc., nor does this key
affect sweep update rates.
Refer to example programs provided on the IBASIC programs disk for
implementation requirements. Keystroke recording may be used to modify or
update UWW REGIN programs.
See Chapter 7, “Automating Measurements,” for more information.
