Getting Acquainted with Your Instrument
Front-Panel C
ontrols
NOTE. Some of the controls that are covered in this section are option-dependent.
For a list of the options that are installed on your instrument, press the CONFIG
button. In the configuration menu, select the Utilities submenu. The View
Instrument Options entry lists the options installed on your instrument.
Three Leve
ls of Control
You control the instrument on three levels:
Frequently changed settings. The front-panel buttons control the most
commonly changed parameters, such as which measurement appears in each
tile. The knobs are used to adjust levels and make selections.
Tile-s
pecific settings. Pop-up menus control parameters that are specificto
the tile in which they are displayed. The pop-up menus control less frequently
changed parameters such as the waveform display mode (for example,
changing the waveform display mode from RGB to YPbPr). To display a
pop-up menu, press and hold the desired MEASURE SELECT or DISPLAY
SELECT button for about a second.
Instrument-wide settings. The parameters in the Configuration menu are
instrument-wide settings. The configuration menu controls settings that are
cha
nged only occasionally, such as c hanging waveform color or setting the
network address.
Scope of Controls
Some controls are g lobal and affect all tiles, while other controls only affect the
ac
tive tile. Generally, if a control is configured by front-panel buttons or by a
pop-up menu, it is tile-specific. (Exceptions are the Input buttons and all audio
features, both of which are global.) If a control is configuredbytheCONFIG
menu, selections are usually global.
