for example calling up of menus, selection and editing of parameters, use of the list editor and the
SAVE/RECALL function. This chapter also contains an overview of menus showing the functions

Fig. 3-1 Design of the display
(1) Header field
The header field of the display indicates frequency and level of the RF output
si
gnal. 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.
(2) Status line
The status line indicates at the left the menu path of the current menu and at the
right the operating mode and operating state of the instrument. Error messages and
notes for caution are also displayed in the status line.
(3) Menu fields
The indication fields below the status line are reserved for the menu
representations. The image contents of these fields change as a function of the
menu selected.
The lowest menu level shows the setting menu with the current settings of the
selected menu. Settings are made in select or input windows which open when the
current setting is activated.
Menu cursor The menu cursor shows the user at which position in the menu he
is. The position of the menu cursor is evident from the inverse
notation of the term (white characters on a black background).
Digit cursor As a bright field, the digit cursor marks the position which can be
varied by means of the rotary knob in a value indication.
