R&S SMB Operating Concept

• Clicking the rotary knob activates the selected entry field.
Depending on the parameter, the submenu is now called, the numeric value varied, the list entry
selected or the check box activated or deactivated.
• If a value is entered, the entry is stored by another click on the rotary knob and the editing mode is
exited.
Clear settings with the aid of independent submenus
A separate menu is opened for each menu and submenu. The menus can be operated independently of
each other, i.e. none of the menus requires that settings in other menus be completed before it can be
closed. This ensures flexible operation at all times.
The Winbar gives an overview of menus and simplifies their access.
The menus are displayed on top of the block diagram but they can be "hidden" using the
DIAGRAM key.
They can be displayed again in full size ( WINBAR key). This makes room on the screen for other
displays that may be required but the setting menus can thus be accessed any time.
The keys are assigned simple functions
Most keys on the front panel of the R&S SMB directly perform a simple function. Since a great number
of settings can thus be made by a keystroke, operation is easy. For instance, the
CLOSE key closes
the active menu; with the RF ON/OFF key the RF output signal can be switched on or off.
An exception are keys that call a menu such as the MENU key which opens the complete menu tree of
the R&S SMB, the SETUP key which opens the menus for general instrument settings or the FILE , key
which opens the menu for file management.
Help functions support the user
Numerous help functions support the user in signal configuration.
Context-sensitive help for each parameter can be called with the
HELP key:
Each help page is part of a comprehensive online help function which can be called by means of the
Content, Index, Back, Previous and Next links.
