Emulation of the instrument front panel
SETUP - GENERAL SETUP – NEXT menu:
SOFT
FRONTPANEL
The SOFT FRONTPANEL softkey switches the display of the front-panel
keys on and off.
When the front-panel keys are displayed on the screen, the instrument can be
controlled by clicking the respective button with the mouse. This is especially
useful when the instrument in a different site is controlled via a remote-control
program, such as, for instance, the remote desktop of Windows XP, and the
screen contents are transferred to the controller via remote link (see the section
"LAN Interface - Remote Desktop under Windows XP).
Note:
Display resolution:
When the display of the front-panel keys is switched on, the
screen resolution of the instrument changes to 1024x768 pixels.
Only a section of the total screen is then displayed on the LC
display, which will automatically be shifted on mouse moves.
In order to obtain a complete display of the user interface, an
external monitor is to be plugged into the corresponding connector
at the rear panel. Prior to performing the resolution change the
user is prompted for confirmation whether the required monitor is
connected.
Switching off the front-panel display restores the original screen
resolution.
Key assignment:
Button labels largely correspond to those of the front-panel keys.
The rotation function of the rotary knob is assigned to the 'KNOB
LEFT' and 'KNOB RIGHT' buttons, the press function (<ENTER>)
to 'KNOB PRESS'.
The labels of the softkey buttons (F1 to F9) and of the hotkey
buttons (C-F1 to C-F7) indicate that the keys can be operated
directly by means of the corresponding function keys F1 to F9 or
<CTRL>F1 to <CTRL>F7 of a PS/2 keyboard.
