1.EXT 1 INPUT This female BNC input connector accepts a 1-Vpksignal for FM, ΦM, and AM.

2.EXT 2 INPUT This female BNC input connector accepts a 1-Vpksignal for FM, ΦM, AM, and pulse modulation.

3.	Help	Press this hardkey for a short textual description of the function of
		the front panel hardkeys and softkeys. Press this key again and you
		will be returned to normal instrument operation.
4.	Trigger	Press this hardkey to begin an event (such as a step or list sweep).
		This key must ﬁrst be selected as the method for activating an event
		by pressing the Trigger Key softkey, located in the softkey menus
		associated with the event.

5.LF OUTPUT This female BNC connector is the output connector for modulation signals generated by the LF (low frequency) source function generator.

6. Mod On/Off This hardkey toggles all modulation signals on and off.

7.RF OUTPUT This female Type-N connector is the output connector for RF signals.

8.	RF On/Off	This hardkey toggles the RF signal on and off at the RF OUTPUT
		connector.
9.	Numeric	The numeric keypad consists of the digit keys (0 through 9), a
	Keypad	decimal point key, and a backspace key. The backspace key has dual
		functions for both backspacing and changing the sign of a value
		between positive and negative. Use these keys whenever the active
		function requires a value input.

10.Arrow Keys The up and down arrow keys increase or decrease a numeric value. You can also use these keys to scroll through displayed lists to select items. The left and right arrow keys choose the highlighted digit in the active entry area of the display; that digit can be modiﬁed by the up and down arrow keys or the knob. You can also use these keys in a list to select items in a row.
