The front panel has the following elements:

•Graphical User Interface

The graphical user interface is used for monitoring (and changing) the instrument’s settings

•Softkeys

The softkeys provide context-sensitive functions (functionality changes according to requirements)

•Numeric keys

Used to set parameter values.

•Tab keys

Used to scroll through the pages of the graphical user interface.

•Navigation knob

Used to navigate through and to change parameter values in an easy way, and also for navigating through the online help.

For more information, see “Operating the Agilent 81133A/81134A Pulse Generator” on page 19.

•Inputs and Outputs

The instrument provides global and channel-specific inputs and outputs as described in the following section.
