Opening Help
To access the Help system, press the green Help key below the front panel display while an Agilent
application is running.
Note that the softkey menu remains visible when Help is open.
Getting Help for a Specific Key
• If Help is already open, press the desired key. The relevant Help topic appears.
The function normally invoked by the key is not executed when the key is pressed with Help open.
If you want to execute the key’s function, first close Help by pressing the Cancel (Esc) key (as
described in “Closing Help” on page 108), then press the key, before opening Help again (if
required).
• If Help is not already open, press the desired key (which executes the key’s function), then press the
Help key to display the relevant Help page. Help is available for all softkeys, and for all the
front-panel keys listed under the "System Functions" and "Measurement" sections.
For details of how to navigate within the panes of the Help window, see “Navigating the Help Files” on
page 107.
Closing Help
To close Help, and return to the measurement application, press the Cancel (Esc) key (depicted below).
