Messages indicate the current instrument state
A great variety of different messages such as status messages, error messages, warnings or
information are displayed in the header field of the screen. With the aid of the
INFO key, help pages
can be called for most of the messages. They provide background information on the message and
indicate operating steps that may be required. All messages are explained in the online help which can
be called with the
HELP key.
Display
The display shows the current signal generator state and offers graphical elements for direct operation.
It is divided into two sections:
• The frequency and level display with info line indicates the main output signal parameters and
reports the current state with status, error and warning messages.
• The block diagram shows the instrument configuration, the signal characteristic as well as the
inputs and outputs used and permits interactive operation via graphics elements. Active menus and
info windows are displayed on top of the block diagram.
Frequency and Level Setting - Display
Frequency/level settings and a few status messages (see below) are displayed in the header field of the
screen. The display may vary depending on the instrument's operating mode:
- In the sweep mode, the current frequency or level of the output signal is displayed.
- If user correction is active, the status message UCorr is displayed in the info line.
It should be noted that the signal at the RF output may differ from the indicated value by a set offset
(frequency or level) (see sections "RF Frequency" and "RF Level" in chapter 4.)
