Bezel Menu Display Area
When you push a front panel button, the instrument displays the corresponding 
menu on the right side of the screen. The menu shows the options that are available 
when you push the unlabeled bezel buttons directly to the right of the screen. (Some 
documentation may also refer to the bezel buttons as side-menu buttons or soft 
keys.)
The AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators use four types of menu button 
status. See Figure 1-10.
