additional controls and displays that are needed.
Figure 5-1 shows the basic structure of the main instrument control menus which, it
will be seen, has a hierarchical, or "tree", structure.
In the diagram, although not in the rest of this manual, the following syntax is used:-
The menus are shown as boxes, with menu names in gothic typeface, e.g. MAIN MENU,
and arrows on the lines connecting the menus and the text adjacent to them indicate
the keys which need to be pressed to move between menus.
The following examples should make this clear.
To access Main Menu 1 from the Main Display, press the Menu key in the lower
right-hand corner of the screen.
To access the Signal Channel menu from the Main Display, press the Menu key
followed by the Signal Channel key shown in Main Menu 1; to return to
Main Menu 1 press the Previous Menu key on the Signal Channel menu.
Note that all menus provide a Previous Menu key allowing the user to return one step
up the menu "tree". In addition, when in any menu, pressing the Main Display key on
the front panel provides a direct return route to the Main Display.
