3.18 Functions not Directly Programmable

Not all front panel functions are individually programmable with SCPI commands. However, the SYSTem:SET and *SAV/*RCL commands can be used to access the following functions:

-	Cursor functions	see CURSORS menu (appendix B.2.2)
-	Logic Triggering	see TRIGGER menu (appendix B.2.10)
-	Event functions	see TB MODE menu (appendix B.2.9)
-	DTB functions	see DTB (DEL’D TB) menu (appendix B.2.6)
-	X pos	see X POS button
-	Display menu functions	see DISPLAY menu (appendix B.2.3)
-	Pass/Fail functions	see MATHPLUS MATH menu
		(appendix A5 and B.2.4.)

Other functions and keys that are not individually programmable with SCPI commands are accessible using the SYSTem:KEY command. They are:

-	Roll mode	DISPlay:MENU TBMode;:SYSTem:KEY 3 toggles on/off
-	Trigger noise	DISPlay:MENU TRIGger;:SYSTem:KEY 4 toggles on/off
-	TEXT OFF key	SYSTem:KEY 801 selects next option
-	STATUS key	SYSTem:KEY 201 toggles on/off
-	MAGNIFY keys	SYSTem:KEY 210/211 selects previous/next step
-	ENVELOPE	DISPlay:MENU ACQuire;:SYSTem:KEY 3 toggles on/off
-	MULTiple-shot	DISPlay:MENU TBMode;:SYSTem:KEY 1 (up)or 2 (down)
		(after INITiate:CONTinuous OFF)
