• First select the correct module using the [Channel] hard key.
• You can switch from the Overview Screen, where you see all modules,
to the Details Screen, where the whole screen is used to show a single
module, and back using the topmost soft key. It is either labeled
"Overview" or "Details" depending on the current view.
• Move to the parameter you want to change using the arrow keys or the
Modify Knob.
• For some parameters you can now change the unit (e.g. W
for power) or switch between frequency and wavelength using the soft
keys.
• Press [Enter], the Modify Knob, or the [Edit] soft key to start editing the
value.
• Enter the desired value using the Up/Down/Left/Right keys, the Modify
Knob or the numerical key pad.
• When finished press [Enter], the Modify Knob, or the [OK] soft key. You
can also cancel the operation using the [Cancel] soft key.
Not all parameters are available in all operation modes or instrument

accessed using the [Menu] soft key, which opens a menu with all
