F2 Edit (Item Editing)

To edit any Item, place the cursor on it and press F2. The Customization software enters Edit mode. The Item is blanked and a blinking cursor appears to show the position of the next character. Enter text or a value from the keyboard. For Items that require a choice, use the up and down arrow keys or the space bar to change the Item.

To exit Edit mode with the changes made to the Item, press Enter. After you press Enter, the Customization software downloads the new information to the 35360A TRACKER Display. In this manner, the Customization screens always reflects the information in the instrument. When the download finishes, the Customization software displays the text, value, or choice it received back from the instrument. If the returned information does not match the information sent down, an error message appears indicating a mismatch. The Customization program retains the original text or value if this error occurs.

To enter large or small values, use scientific notation. The accepted format for this type of entry is x.xxxE+xxx. For example, 1.234E+001 would be equivalent to 12.34; 1.234E-001 would be equivalent to

.1234. It is not necessary to specify all three exponent digits. The program accepts an entry of "1e9" to represent 1,000,000,000.

To exit Edit mode without change to the Item, press Escape. The Item will appear in the Selection area as it did before you entered Edit mode.
