These instructions provide information about the front-panel controls and indicators, rear-panel connectors and switch, powering-up, and the measurement graticule and alphanumeric readout.

Front-panel Controls and Indicators

The front-panel controls and indicators consist of momentary contact push-but- ton switches, with backlit switch selections, and variable controls. For front- panel control and indicator locations, see Figure 2-1. There are also functions that are accessed by holding the switch down for approximately 1 second. These functions are identified by a blue box surrounding the front-panel label.
