You can use the PC keyboard for menu operations rather than using the
instrument front panel keys or buttons. Use the keyboard to input the file name,

keys, ten keys, arrow keys, space key and shift key can be used in place of the
front panel keys, buttons, and some menu operation commands. Table 3–43 lists
