State Buttons
The Channel Select, CH1/CH2 Output and Run Mode buttons are called State
buttons.
Channel Select button. The Channel Select button directly controls the
display, toggling between the two channels. This button is used to select the
channel that you are currently interacting with. Only one channel can be selected
at a time.
When you push the Channel Select button on the Edit, Utility, Save, Recall, or Help
screen, the arbitrary/function generator returns to previous display. The displayed
channels do not toggle if you push the Channel Select button on those screen
menus. After restoring the main display area, pushing the Channel Select button
toggles between CH1 and CH2.
CH1/CH2 Output On button. The arbitrary/function generator allow you to turn on
and off the signal output for CH1 and CH2 independently. You can configure the
signal with the outputs off, to minimize the chance of sending a problematic signal
to your device. You can select either one or both of these buttons. Each button is
lit with an LED when in the On state.
Run Mode buttons. Only one Run Mode menu can be selected for each channel.
The Run Mode buttons are unique because they are both State and Menu buttons.
When one of four buttons is selected, that run mode is activated and the menu for
configuring that run mode is displayed on the screen. The selected button is lit with
an LED.
