Status Bar
The status bar beneath the diagram indicates the global instrument settings, the instru-
ment status and any irregularities during measurement or display.
Some of the information displayed in the status bar can be queried from the status reg-
istry via remote commands.
Remote command:
DISPlay:SBAR[:STATe] on page 487
Softkey Bar
Softkeys are virtual keys provided by the software. Thus, more functions can be provi-
ded than can be accessed directly via the function keys on the device.
The functions provided by the softkeys are often also available via dialog boxes. How-
ever, some functions are not accessible at all without the softkey bar.
Note: The softkey bar is hidden while the SmartGrid is displayed and restored auto-
matically when the SmartGrid is closed.
Remote command:
DISPlay:SKEYs[:STATe] on page 487
Channel Bar
The channel bar provides information on firmware and measurement settings for a
specific channel.
Remote command:
DISPlay:ANNotation:CBAR on page 486
Diagram Footer (Annotation)
The diagram footer beneath the diagram contains information on the x-axis of the dia-
gram display, such as:
●
The current center frequency and span settings
●
The displayed span per division
●
The number of sweep points
Remote command:
DISPlay:ANNotation:FREQuency on page 487
Date and Time
The date and time display can be switched off independently of the status bar.
You can set the current date and time and configure the display format in the "General"
tab of the "Display" dialog box.
Remote command:
DISPlay[:WINDow<n>]:TIME on page 488
Front Panel
The "Front Panel" display simulates the entire front panel of the device (except for the
external connectors) on the screen. Thus, you can interact with the R&S FSPN without
the keypad and keys on the front panel of the device. That is useful, for example, when
working with an external monitor or operating via remote control from a computer.
