Front Panel Menu Reference

This section describes all the hardkeys and softkeys on your power meter. The
hardkey descriptions are in alphabetical order. The softkey descriptions are in the
order they appear in the menus. Diagrammatical hardkeys are described at the end of
this section.
The hardkeys can be separated into three categories, those which affect:
• the system setup, for example the GP-IB address.
• the currently selected window setup, for example the measurement units.
• the channel setup, for example channel offsets.
dBm/W
The softkey menu structured to this hardkey affects the currently selected window.
Press to select the upper or lower measurement window on the power meter's
display. The window which is selected is highlighted by a shadowed box, and the set
up you create is implemented in this window.
Press this hardkey to access the "dBm/Watts" menu which allows you to select the
measurement units. These can either be logarithmic (dBm or dB) or linear (Watt or
%). The default is logarithmic. The text on some softkeys may appear grayed out.
This indicates that they are not a relevant unit of measurement in the currently
selected window. Refer to "Setting the Units of Measurement", on page 2-32 for
further information.
