Drop-down Selection Menus

Many menus offer drop-down selections that contain a variety of choices. To access a drop-down selection menu, press on the down arrow for the parameter you would like to change and the drop-down selections will expand. To make a selection, press on one of the choices, then press Done. The current selection is highlighted at the top of the drop-down selection menu. Figure 3-18 below illustrates a drop-down selection menu:

Note: A selection may also be entered with a rapid double press of the selection or by highlighting the selection, then pressing the Enter key on the front panel or keyboard.

Parameter Entry and Measurement Setup Dialogs

Parameter entry and measurement setup dialogs are used throughout the system to provide direct access to related parameters for a given context. These dialogs will generally look like the one shown in Figure 3-19, below.

Not all parameters are set by using dialogs. Only those functions that have a complex set of parameters to set use dialogs. Most SPA functions use parameter entry fields and buttons in the sub-menu display to set their measurement parameters. Many VSA functions use dialogs to set their measurement parameters. Refer to “Parameter Entry and Measurement Setup Dialog Archive” on page 4-36for more information.
