To operate the instrument, menus are called in the display. All setting possibilities and the current
setting status are evident from the menus. All settings can be made by accessing the menus.
RF frequency and RF level can also be set without menu operation using keys [FREQ] and [LEVEL].
RF signal and modulation can also be switched on/off without menu operation using keys [RF ON/OFF]
and/or [MOD ON/OFF].

Header field
(1)The header field of the display indicates frequency and level of the RF output signal
which considers the offset value. In the RF-sweep operating mode, the start and stop
frequencies are displayed in two lines one above the other. The start and stop levels
are indicated in the LEVEL-sweep operating mode correspondingly. A two-line level
display appears for digital modulation or digital standard. The upper line indicates the
average power (LEVEL), the lower line the peak envelope power (PEP) of the
modulated RF output signal.
Status line
(2) The status line below describes operating mode and operating state of the instrument.
Error messages and notes for caution are also displayed in the status line.
