Getting Started

Front Panel Description

6.Mode keys select the measurement mode and mode parameters See page 83 for more detail.

•MODE accesses softkeys to select the instrument mode. Each mode is independent of all other modes.

•Mode Setup accesses softkeys that affect parameters that are specific to the current mode and affect all measurements within that mode.

7.System keys access system features, that are used with all instrument modes. See page 52 for further explanation of system features.

•System accesses features that control instrument configuration at the system level, like I/O configuration and alignment, which affect all instrument modes. Pressing System also returns the instrument to local control, if it has been in remote mode.

•Preset resets all parameters of the current mode back to the factory defaults.

•Print immediately prints what is on the screen to the printer, or saves a file to a floppy disc, according to the parameters that are currently set in the Print Setup menu. See page 63 for more detail.

•Print Setup configures the transmitter tester for printing to a printer, or saving an image file to the floppy disc drive, and also allows you to select the printer type.

•File accesses softkeys that control the file system of the transmitter tester for saving and loading instrument states. See page 67 for more detail.

•Save saves the current instrument state in the File menu. See page 67 for more detail.

8.Marker keys are used to obtain specific information about parts of

the displayed measurement (for example, to identify the exact frequency of an offset). See page 95 for more detail.

•Marker accesses softkeys that allow manual positioning of markers.

•Search automatically performs a peak search, and accesses softkeys that automatically position markers at preset locations on the trace (for example, to determine the difference between the amplitude of one peak and another).
