Basic Operations
This section describes the AWG500-Series Waveform Generator menu system
and numeric and text input methods.

Menu Operations

There are four menu buttons, labeled EDIT, SETUP, APPL, and UTILITY, as
shown in Figure 2–1. Pushing a menu button displays the corresponding screen
and menu buttons. These menus let you edit waveforms, initialize instrument
settings, define instrument operation, and specify waveform output parameters.
You select items within the displayed menu by pushing the bottom or side bezel
button nearest to the menu item. These buttons consist of seven bottom buttons
and five side buttons, as shown in Figure 2–1. These menu bezel buttons are
referred to as bottom menu buttons (or bottom buttons) and side menu buttons
(or side buttons).
The CLEAR MENU button cancels the current menu operation and exits to the
previous instrument state.
