Basic Operation

Using Table Editors

Table Editor Softkeys

The following table editor softkeys are used to load, navigate, modify, and store table item values.

Edit Item

displays the selected item in the active function area of the display where the

 

item’s value can be modified

Insert Row

inserts an identical row of table items above the currently selected row

Delete Row

deletes the currently selected row

Goto Row

opens a menu of softkeys (Enter, Goto Top Row, Goto Middle Row, Goto Bottom Row, Page Up,

 

and Page Down) used to quickly navigate through the table items

Insert Item

inserts an identical item in a new row below the currently selected item

Delete Item

deletes the currently selected item

Page Up and

displays table items that occupy rows outside the limits of the ten- row table

Page Down

 

display area

More (1 of 2)

accesses Load/Store and its associated softkeys

Load/Store

opens a menu of softkeys (Load From Selected File, Store To File, Delete File, Goto Row, Page Up,

 

and Page Down) used to load table items from a file in the memory catalog, or to

 

store the current table items as a file in the memory catalog

Modifying Table Items in the Data Fields

1.If not already displayed, open the List Mode Values table editor (Figure 2- 1 on page 34): Press Preset > Sweep/List > Configure List Sweep

2.Use the arrow keys or the knob to move the table cursor over the desired item. In Figure 2- 1, the first item in the Frequency data field is selected.

3.Press Edit Item.

The selected item is displayed in the active function area of the display.

4.Use the knob, arrow keys, or the numeric keypad to modify the value.

5.Press Enter.

The modified item is now displayed in the table.
