About the Test Set
Front-Panel Features (E6607A/B)
Overview of key types
The keys labeled FREQ Channel, System, and Marker Functions are all examples of front-panel keys.
Most of the dark or light gray keys access menus of functions that are displayed along the right side of
the display. These displayed key labels are next to a column of keys called menu keys.
Menu keys list functions based on which front-panel key was pressed last. These functions are also
dependant on the current selection of measurement application (Mode) and measurement (Meas).
If the numeric value of a menu key function can be changed, it is called an active function. The function
label of the active function is highlighted after that key has been selected. For example, press AMPTD Y
Scale. This calls up the menu of related amplitude functions. The function labeled Ref Level (the default
selected key in the Amplitude menu) is highlighted. Ref Level also appears in the upper left of the display
in the measurement information area. The displayed value indicates that the function is selected and its
21 Help Key Initiates a context-sensitive help display for the current Mode. Once Help is
accessed, pressing a front panel key brings up the help topic for that key
function. Use the Local/Cancel/(Esc) key to exit help.
22 Speaker Control Keys Enables you to increase or decrease the speaker volume, or mute it.
23 Window Control Keys These keys select between single or multiple window displays. They zoom the
current window to fill the data display, or change the currently selected
window. They can be used to switch between the Help window navigation
pane and the topic pane.
24 Power Standby/ On Turns the test set on. A green light indicates power on. A yellow light
indicates standby mode.
The front-panel switch is a standby switch, not a LINE
switch (disconnecting device). The test set continues to
draw power even when the line switch is in standby.
The main power cord can be used as the system
disconnecting device. It disconnects the mains circuits
from the mains supply.
