Buttons/Keys Description
General purpose knob The general purpose knob is used to increment or decrement values when a setting is enabled (selected) for
change.
Push the knob to toggle the Fine mode on and off, increasing or decreasing the change resolution of the
general purpose knob.
NOTE. The general purpose knob operation mimics the actions of the up and down arrow keys on a
keyboard as defined by the Windows operating system. Because of this, rotating the knob when a desired
control is not selected may result in seemingly odd behavior of the control or accidental changes to some
other control.
Fine The Fine button increases the resolution of the general purpose knob.
Numeric keypad The numeric keypad is used to directly enter a numeric value into a selected control setting.
Units prefix buttons (T/p, G/n, M/μ, and k/m) are used to complete an input with the numeric keypad. You
can complete your entry by pushing one of these prefix buttons (without pressing the Enter key).
If you push the units prefix buttons for frequency, the units are interpreted as T (tera-), G (giga-), M (mega-),
or k (kilo-). If you push the buttons for time or amplitude, the units are interpreted as p (pico-), n (nano-), μ
(micro-), or m (milli-).
Touchscreen Off The Touchscreen Off button enables or disables touchscreen control. When disabled, the button lights.
When the touchscreen is enabled, you can use your finger or the stylus to control all operations of the
instrument from the display. The touchscreen can be used alone or in combination with the mouse and front-
panel controls.
When the touchscreen is disabled, you can still access the on-screen menus with a mouse or keyboard.
NOTE. The stylus must be of the conductive type designed for projected-capacitance screens, such as
commonly used with smart phones and tablets.
NOTE. If the instrument is powered on in Windows Safe Mode, the touchscreen is inoperative. You may
need to use a mouse or keyboard to restore normal operation.
Force Trigger (A or B) The A or B Force Trigger buttons generate a trigger event. This is only effective when the Run mode is set
to Triggered or Triggered Continuous.
All Outputs Off The All Outputs Off button provides a quick disconnect of the Analog, Marker, and Flag outputs, whether
those outputs are enabled or not. (All Outputs Off overrides the output enable controls.)
When activated, the button lights, the outputs are electrically disconnected, and the channel and marker
output front-panel lights are turned off.
When the All Outputs Off is deactivated, the outputs return to their defined state.
