4.Error Messages Abbreviated error messages are reported in this space. When
| Area | multiple error messages occur, only the most recent message | 
| 
 | remains displayed. All of the reported error messages with details | 
| 
 | can be viewed by pressing Utility > Error Info > | 
| 
 | View Next Error Message. | 
| 5. Text Area | This area is used to display status information about the signal | 
| 
 | generator such as the modulation status, to enter information such | 
| 
 | as creating sweep lists, and to manage information such as | 
| 
 | displaying the catalog of files and deleting unwanted files. | 
6.Active Entry The current active function is shown in this area. For example, if
| Area | frequency is the active function, the current setting will be | 
| 
 | displayed in the active entry area and that setting will change as | 
| 
 | you enter a new value. | 
7.Annunciators The display annunciators show the status of some of the signal generator functions and indicate error conditions of the instrument. The following annunciators are available:
| φM | This annunciator appears when phase modulation is turned on. | 
| ALC OFF | This annunciator appears when the automatic leveling control | 
| 
 | (ALC) circuit is disabled. | 
| AM | This annunciator appears when amplitude modulation is turned on. | 
| ARMED | This annunciator appears when a sweep has been initiated and the | 
| 
 | signal generator is waiting for the sweep trigger event. | 
| ATTEN HOLD | This annunciator appears when the attenuator hold function is | 
| 
 | turned on. When this function is on, the attenuator is frozen at its | 
| 
 | current setting. | 
| BERT | This annunciator appears whenever the Option UN7, bit error rate | 
| 
 | test (BERT), or Option 300, base station BERT extension, functions | 
| 
 | are turned on. | 
| Digital | An annunciator appears here when a digital modulation is on. | 
| Modulation | The exact annunciator depends on the modulation type, and is | 
| Annunciators | documented in the manual that addresses that modulation. | 
| 
 | Only one modulation con be on at a time, so sharing an annunciator | 
| 
 | location is not a problem. |
