The numeric controls can be used in the following ways:
Use the up/down arrows to change the value. The control automatically stops at
the maximum/minimum allowed value.
You can increase or decrease the value starting at a specific portion of the value.
To do this, place the cursor to the right of the targeted digit and use the up/down
arrows. This is especially useful when changing a signal characteristic that is
immediately implemented, and observing the result in another instrument. For
example, you can change the signal generator’s frequency by increments of 10
MHz and observe the measured result in a signal analyzer:
Type directly into the field and press the Enter key. If you enter a value outside the
allowed range, the control automatically limits the entered value to the maximum
or minimum allowed value.
When you type the value, you can type the first letter of the allowed unit of
measure to set the units. For example, in the Frequency control you can use "H",
"K", "M", or "G" to specify hertz, kilohertz, megahertz, or gigahertz, respectively.
(The control is not case sensitive.)
The controls allow scientific notation if it is appropriate to the allowed range. Type the
first decimal number, enter an "E", and omit any trailing zeroes. For example, in the
Frequency control you can type 2.5e+9 and press Enter to set the frequency to 2.5 GHz.
(The plus sign is automatically inserted if it is omitted.)
