3. Connect the configured connector, e.g. to the external instrument or device.
For a step-by-step description, see Chapter 2.3.3, "Triggering the Instrument with
an External Signal", on page 71.
To find out the physical location of the connector on the front/rear panel of the
instrument
Proceed as follows:
1. Select T/M/C status LEDs or T/E/L/P/V status LEDs to open the "Trigger Marker
Clock" and the "RF Connectors" dialog.
2. For the corresponding connector, select the "Find" icon.
The "Find Connector" dialog opens and displays the physical location of the
selected connector on the front/rear panel of the instrument.
A blinking LED on the front/rear panel indicates the selected connector, too.
See also "Connector status indication" on page 663.
11.3 Assigning Actions to the User Key
The USER key is a key with customizable function, i.e. there is no predefined function
assigned to it. You can define the action to be executed or the function to be accessed
upon pressing this key.
Possible applications
The USER key is useful in the following situations:
●
There are functions or tasks you have to perform more frequently than other but
they are not accessible via a front panel key.
●
The required functions are grouped in a dialog that is not directly accessible from
the blocks on the block diagram.
●
Your task involves the frequently loading and executing of certain SCPI scripts.
Refer to Chapter 12.15, "How to Record / Create SCPI Lists", on page 752 for
information on how to create an SCPI script.
●
A quick access to saved setups is required.
Dialog identification
To identify each dialog, the instrument uses a dedicated dialog ID. The dialog ID con-
tains the dialog position on the display and the current active tab. The action that trig-
gers the instrument to open a dialog uses this identification.
Save/Recall vs. recall setup
Sometimes, you would like to restore a signal generation you performed under specific
conditions on the instrument and perform further configuration based on this particular
instrument state. The R&S SMW provides two ways to achieve this, by the "Save/
Recall" function and by the "Recall Setup" function.
