Getting Started

Configuring the Display

input to the front panel. The display light turns on again when any front panel key is pressed or when a remote command is sent. The screen saver is set to off at the factory.

Press Utility > Display > Screen Saver Mode.

This toggles the screen saver mode between light-only mode and light-and-text mode.

Adjust the screen saver mode to turn the light on, off, or to turn both the light and text on and off. Setting the mode to light-only mode turns the display light off, leaving the text visible at a low intensity. If the display remains unchanged for long periods of time, set the mode to light and text to prevent the text from burning the display. This mode turns the display light and the text off.

Press Utility > Display > Screen Saver Delay.

This adjusts the amount of elapsed time before the screen saver is activated.

The screen saver delay is set to 1 hour at the factory. The current screen saver delay is displayed in the softkey label and also in the active entry area. To change the delay, enter a new value using the numeric keypad and then press Enter, or rotate the front panel knob. The acceptable range of delay values is 1 through 12 hours in 1 hour increments.

The screen saver settings are persistent states; they are not affected by a signal generator preset or power cycle.

Updating the Display During Remote Operation

Press Utility > Display > Update in Remote Off On.

This toggles the display-update-in-remote mode on or off.

When toggled on, commands executed via the remote control bus will update the signal generator display accordingly. When toggled off, commands executed via the remote control bus will not update the signal generator’s display. Update-in-remote mode is set to off at the factory.
