− The softkey is a measurement control softkey (main softkey) indicating the
measurement state (RUN, OFF, HLT). A yellow triangle indicates that a
popup menu providing configurations can be opened with the softkey
(press once for selection, a second time for opening the popup).
A measurement can be started and aborted with the ON/OFF key (i.e. the
ON/OFF key switches between the measurement states RUN and OFF). It
can be stopped while preserving the valid results with the CONT/HALT
key (i.e. the CONT/HALT key switches between the measurement states
RUN and HLT; starting a measurement from the OFF state by means of
the CONT/HALT key is not possible). In the HLT state, the instrument
resources are not released; the application is still available. The formal
aspects of measurement control are explained in Chapter 5.
− The softkey indicates the generator status (ON, OFF). A yellow triangle
indicates that a popup menu providing configurations can be opened with
the softkey (press once for selection, a second time for opening the
popup).
A generator can be started and aborted with the ON/OFF key. The formal
aspects of generator control are explained in Chapter 5, section
Measurement Control.
The softkey toggles between two hotkey bars (corresponding to two groups of
settings). The current group is indicated in large typeface in the first line of the
softkey; the alternative group appears in smaller typeface next to a double
triangle.
Hotkeys
Hotkeys are assigned to the eight keys at the lower edge of the screen. Only the hotkeys softkeys
which are actually assigned in a menu are indicated (see Fig. 3-1).
Selection:
A hotkey is activated by pressing the associated key. After activation it
changes its frame.
Function:
Hotkeys permit to
− Change from one measurement menu/graphical measurement menu to
the other
− Select tabs in the popup menu
− A yellow triangle indicates that a second version of the current tab
providing additional configurations can be opened with the hotkey. The
hotkey toggles between the two versions of the tab.
In the graphical measurement menu (see page 3.7), hotkeys provide
extended settings and can be used like ordinary function softkeys.
