Front Panel Operation - Stanford Research Systems DS360 Operating Manual And Programming Reference

Front Panel Operation

Parameters are set in the DS360 using the front panel keypad or the spin knob. Most parameters can be
set directly from the keypad, although it is often more convenient to use the spin knob. Keys are
referenced by brackets like this: [Key].
Keypad
Use the up and down arrow keys [∧], [∨] to change between functions. To set a
parameter, press the key with the desired parameter on it, ([FREQ] for example, to set
the frequency). The current value will be displayed. Most parameters are labeled on the
key itself; other parameters are labeled above the key in gray. To display these values,
first press the [SHIFT] key, then the desired key ([SHIFT] [TRIG SRC] to set the trigger
source). To change the value, press the appropriate numeric keys, followed by the correct
units key. If the value has no particular units, any of the units keys may be used. If an
error is made, press the [CLR] key to return to the current value. If the value entered is
outside the allowable limits the DS360 will beep and display an error message.
Knob
The spin knob can be used to modify most parameters. Display the current value as
described for the keypad and turn the knob to increment or decrement the parameter. The
decade that is being incremented (or decremented) will flash. To change the decade that
is being modified, use the left and right cursor keys [< ], [ >].
