Operation is possible via front-panel keys, an external keyboard and the mouse. How-
ever, most of the settings can be easily made with the rotary knob:
●
Turning the rotary knob shifts the entry focus to the target element.
●
Pressing the rotary knob activates the selected entry field.
Depending on the parameter, the submenu is 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 subdialogs
A separate window is opened for each dialog and subdialog. The dialogs can be operated
independently of each other, i.e. none of the dialogs requires that settings in other dialogs
be completed before it can be closed. This ensures flexible operation at all times.
Winbar
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" with the
aid of the HIDE (CTRL+H) key, i.e. displayed in the form of a button in the "Winbar" at
the lower end of the screen.
They can be displayed again in full size by a keystroke (REARR (CTRL+A) key). This
makes room on the screen for other displays that may be required but the setting menus
can be still accessed any time.
Keys with assigned simple functions
Most keys on the front panel of the R&S SMBV 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 (ESC) key closes the active menu; with the RF ON/OFF (CTRL
+R) key the RF output signal can be switched on or off.
