Display

The LCD display provides information on the current instrument

 

 

state such as modulation status, frequency and amplitude settings,

 

 

status indicators, and error messages. Softkey labels corresponding

 

 

to their adjacent keys are located on the right-hand side of the

 

 

display.

 

22.

Hold

Press this hardkey to deactivate the currently active function and

 

 

blank the softkey menu. Once Hold is pressed, the front panel knob,

 

 

the arrow keys, and the numeric keypad have no effect. To return to

that can be set through the numeric keypad or the step keys can

 

 

also be set with the knob.

 

25.

Amplitude

Press this hardkey to activate the power level amplitude function so

 

 

that you can change the amplitude of the RF output.

26.

Frequency

Press this hardkey to activate the frequency function so that you

 

 

can change the frequency of the RF output.

 

27.

Save

This hardkey lets you save up to 100 different instrument states in

 

 

a combination of 100 memory registers and 10 register sequences.

 

 

The number of states you can save, however, is limited by the size of

 

 

whatever else is stored in the file system.

 

28.

Menu Keys

These hardkeys provide access to the signal generator’s primary

 

 

functionality. Press these keys for access to softkey menus where

 

 

you can configure modulations, step and list sweeps, and various

 

 

frequency and power capabilities.

 

29.
