Possible applications
The ★ (User) key and the "User Menu" are useful for the following situations:
●
There are functions or tasks you have to perform in a defined order but the setting
parameters are distributed across several dialogs.
●
There are functions or tasks you have to perform frequently but they are not acces-
sible via the front panel keys.
●
The required functions are grouped in a dialog that is not directly accessible from
the home screen.
●
Your task involves the frequently loading and executing of certain SCPI scripts.
Refer to Chapter 11.13.4, "How to record / create SCPI lists", on page 335 for infor-
mation on how to create an SCPI script.
●
A quick access to saved setups is required.
●
There are functions and tasks you have to perform on several instruments.
Dialog identification
To identify each dialog, the instrument uses a dedicated dialog ID. The dialog ID con-
tains the dialog position on the display and the current active tab. The action that trig-
gers the instrument to open a dialog uses this identification.
Save/Recall vs. recall setup
If you need to restore a specific signal generation setup and perform further configura-
tions based on this particular instrument state, the R&S SMB100B provides two
options:
●
"Save/Recall" function
For a detailed description, refer to Chapter 9.4, "Saving and recalling instrument
settings", on page 202.
●
"Recall Setup" function
If the "Recall Setup" is the only user action assigned to the [★ (User)] key, pressing
this key triggers the R&S SMB100B to load the user-defined preset file immedi-
ately.
