Setting Parameters

The instrument offers several and sometimes alternative possibilities for setting parameters. Manual
operation is possible with the aid of a mouse and/or from an external keyboard. Operation of the
instrument with the aid of these control media is shown in the tables below.
Most of the parameters are set in dialogs. The dialogs can be opened from the function blocks of the
diagram either with the aid of the external keyboard or by clicking on the Config... button.
With the exception of the Setup and the File menus which are called in the windows toolbar solely. In
the Setup menu, general settings are made which are not directly concerned with signal generation,
e.g. setting of the IEC/IEEE-bus address. In the File menu, files and lists are managed.
Specific settings can also be made directly in the block diagram, e.g. activating a function block by
means of the +
Ctrl T
graphics display.
The instrument uses the Windows XP operating system. Settings at system level are only rarely
required.. For operation of Windows XP, a keyboard and a mouse are required, the operating system
can not be accessed via remote control.
