11 General Instrument Functions
The general instrument functions include basic instrument settings, regardless of the
selected operating mode and measurement. Some of these settings like screen display
and peripherals are initially configured at the setup of the instrument, according to per-
sonal preferences and requirements. However, you can individually adjust the settings
at any time, for example, if required for specific applications.
The following special functions help you in service and basic system configuration:
●
Chapter 11.1, "Customizing the User Interface", on page 656
Allows you to adjust the display and keyboard language settings.
See Chapter 2.1.5, "Configuring the Initial Instrument Settings", on page 49 for
information on how to perform the settings in detail.
●
Chapter 11.2, "Configuring the Local and Global Connectors", on page 661
Allows you to map internal or external signals to the multi-purpose connectors.
●
Chapter 11.3, "Assigning Actions to the User Key", on page 678

●
Chapter 10.2, "Restoring the (Default) Instrument Configuration", on page 622
At any time, you can restore a default configuration to start a measurement at a
defined instrument state, or set the instrument to factory preset.

Special functions like calibration routines and selftests put your instrument to an
initial state.

use or activate specific test routines.
11.1 Customizing the User Interface
The R&S SMW provides basic alignments of instrument settings regarding the user
interface, that means the touch panel (screen), the appearance of the displayed dia-
logs and graphics, and an external keyboard.
Transparency adjustment
The R&S SMW enables you to activate an opacity factor for less relevant elements, so
that the background remains visible. When activated, inactive dialogs, i.e. dialogs or
windows during moving with the finger and progress bars appear transparent. For
information on how to activate the transparency, see Chapter 11.1.2, "GUI Appearance
Settings", on page 659.
