3.1 Front and rear panel controls
The <On/Off> button on the front panel switches the unit into STANDBY mode. When
the switch is OFF, electrical power is still supplied to the switch-mode power-supply
inside the unit. The button illuminates blue when the unit is powered up.
The switch marked <1 0> on the rear panel switches electrical power on and off.
3.2 LCD display and GUI
The graphical user interface (GUI) contains several pages that the user can access as
required.
3.2.1 Using the touch screen
3.2.1.1 Initiating actions
Each page of the GUI contains a number of buttons. On certain pages, other areas of
the screen are also active.
To initiate an action, tap the relevant button or active area once.
Certain system features are accessed by tapping the relevant button or active area
twice. These features are clearly indicated in the text of this manual.
The plot page allows the user to zoom in and out by dragging a finger across the screen.
This is described in more detail in Section 3.2.8.1.
3.2.1.2 Drop-down menus
Certain fields require the user to choose an item from a drop-down menu. These fields
are indicated by a downwards-pointing arrow to the right of the field.
