		Changes to the generator screen (see Table 40 on page 33 ) where the parameters of the selected waveform are configured and displayed.		Switches to the modulation screen. (Disabled)
		Switches to the Sweep screen. (Disabled)

Universal Knob and Arrows


Universal Knob and Arrows	Button	Function	Button	Function
		Increase or decrease any active numeric value on screen.		For a more precise adjustment than the universal knob, you can increase or decrease the active numeric value displayed on the screen. The horizontal arrows shift the position from left to right, while the vertical arrows adjust the value up or down.

Numeric Keypad


	Enter the numerical value in the active configuration parameter on the screen.

Units Keypad


Units Keypad	Button	Function	Button	Function
		Gives the unit of Gigahertz to the entered numeric value.		Returns the decibel-millivolt unit to the entered numeric value.
		Gives the unit of megahertz to the entered numeric value. (Only if the parameter is frequency).		Sets a decibel-microvolt unit if the active parameter receives amplitude values or nano-seconds unit if the active parameter corresponds to unit of time.
		Gives the unit of kilohertz to the entered numeric value. (Only if the parameter is frequency).		Sets a unit of millivolts if the active parameter receives voltage values or unit of milliseconds if the active parameter corresponds to unit of time.
		Gives the unit of Hertz to the entered numeric value. (Only if the parameter is frequency).		Sets a unit of microvolts if the active parameter receives voltage values or unit of microseconds if the active parameter corresponds to unit of time.
		Place as a percentage unit if the active parameter is in percentage, or degrees if the active parameter is expressed in degrees.		Sets a unit of Volts if the active parameter receives voltage values or unit of seconds if the active parameter corresponds to unit of time.

Radio Frequency Generator Functions

To Set Channels

Press Channel 1 Button or Channel 2 Button buttons toswitch the selected channel. To activate output of the channel is displayed with a led LED Mode Off / LED Mode ON ,onthe upper part of each channel, when a channel is selected the button is highlighted with the color of that channel Channel 1 Button Selected in that case the parameters of that channel can be selected and edited.

Detailed Instructions

The amplitude parameter changes its value if one of the , and buttons is pressed.

Set Frequency and Amplitude Parameters

Press

or

on the control panel, the edit parameter for the selected channel in that moment, will change to the frequency or amplitude parameter respectively which can be edited with the numeric keyboard (see Table 43 on page 31) and the units keyboard (see Table 44 on page 31), the digit to be edited can be changed thought the arrows below the knob (see Table 42 on page 31) , with the knob it is also possible to change the selected digit in steps of one.
