dialogs or settings.
● Appearance of active elements
– Active elements like On/Off switches, state buttons have a blue back-
ground.
– Selected elements are framed or highlighted orange.

● On-Screen keypads
As additional means of interacting with the instrument without having to con-
nect an external keyboard, either a numerical or alphanumerical on-screen
keypad appears when you activate an entry field (see
Data", on page 52).
● Info line
The "Info line" shows brief status information and error messages. It appears
when an event generates a message.

label expresses the content and can also contain status indicators or the set
value of a key parameter.
● Scroll bar handle
An arrow icon that appears when you touch a scroll bar helps you to scroll in a
dialog or list.
