Terms Used in This Book
There are many terms used throughout this book, for example “active function block,” that
are explained in detail in the Getting Started guide. It is recommended that you read the
Getting Started guide first.
The following terms are used to describe each key. Note that a key description may not use
all the terms.
State Saved: Indicates what happens to a particular function when the instrument
state is saved (either to floppy disk or the internal c:\ drive). It also
indicates whether the current settings of the function are maintained if
the instrument is powered on or preset using Power On Last State or User
Preset.
Dependencies/
Couplings: Describes dependencies or interactions to other functions or settings in the
analyzer.
Factory Preset: Describes the function settings after a Factory Preset.
Default
Terminator: Indicates the units that will be attached to the numerical value that you
have entered. This default will be used from the front panel, when you
terminate your entry by pressing the Enter key, rather then selecting a
units key. This default will be used remotely when you send the command
without specifying any units after your value(s).
Range: Describes the range of the smallest to largest values to which the function
can be set. If you try to set a value below the minimum value, the analyzer
defaults to the minimum value. If you try to set a value above the
maximum value, the analyzer defaults to the maximum value.
History: Describes the firmware revision history. Only applies after first firmware
release.
Remote
Command: Shows the syntax requirements for each SCPI command.
Example: Provides command examples using the indicated remote command syntax.
