Terms Used in This Book

There are many terms used throughout this book, for example "active function block," that
are explained in detail in the "Getting Started" chapter of the measurements guide. It is
recommended that you read that section first.
The following terms are used to describe each key. Note that a key description may not use
all the terms.
State Saved: Indicates what happens to a particular function when the instrument
state is saved (either to a USB drive or the internal memory). It also
indicates whether the current settings of the function are maintained if
the instrument is powered on or preset using
Dependencies/
Couplings: Describes dependencies or interactions to other functions or settings in the
analyzer.
Preset: Describes the function settings after a
Default
Terminator: Indicates the units that will be attached to the numerical value that you
have entered. This default will be used from the front panel, when you
terminate your entry by pressing the
units key. This default will be used remotely when you send the command
without specifying any units after your value(s).
Range (or Min/Max): Describes the range of the smallest to largest values to which the
function can be set. If you try to set a value below the minimum value, the
analyzer defaults to the minimum value. If you try to set a value above the
maximum value, the analyzer defaults to the maximum value.
History: Describes the firmware revision history. Only applies after second software
release.
Remote
Command: Shows the syntax requirements for each SCPI command.
Example: Provides command examples using the indicated remote command syntax.
Mode: Indicates to which modes a key functionality or parameter is applicable. If
it is applicable to more than one mode, then all modes should be listed.
Key Path: Describes how to access the menu key. The key path is described in a
comma-separated style stating with the front-panel key name and then
listing each menu key name needed to access the key being described. If a
function has no front panel access (that is, a SCPI only function) this
should indicate "None".
