Alternate Access Methods
Note: The instrument often provides more than one way to access dialogs and menus.
Mouse and Keyboard Operation
Touch-screen operation is used for most procedures explained in our manuals. However, if you
have a mouse connected to the instrument, you can also be used to click on objects. Also, if you
have a keyboard connected, it can be used instead of the virtual keyboard provided in the
instrument.
Use only a USB connection for a mouse (if used).
Toolbar Buttons
The procedures also focus on the use of the menu bar at the top of the screen to access dialogs
and menus. However, on several dialogs common functions are accessible from a row of buttons
that save you a step or two in accessing their dialogs. For example, at the bottom of the Channel
Setup dialog, these buttons perform the following functions:
Calls up the Measure menu. You can then select a parameter from this menu
without leaving the Channel Setup dialog. The parameter automatically appears
below the grid.
Creates a zoom trace of the channel trace whose dialog is currently displayed.
Calls up the Math menu. You can then select a math function from this menu
without leaving the Channel Setup dialog. A math trace of the channel whose
dialog is currently open is automatically displayed.
Loads the channel trace into the next available memory location (M1 to M4).
Automatically performs a vertical scaling that fits the waveform into the grid.
Automatically moves the channel trace whose dialog is currently open onto the
next grid. If you have only one grid displayed, a new grid will be created
automatically, and the trace moved.
Enables you to attach identifying labels to your waveforms. The labels are
preserved when the waveform is saved as a LabNotebook entry and when saved
to file.
