Alternate Access Methods

The instrument often gives you more than one way to access dialogs and menus.

Mouse and Keyboard Operation

In the procedures we focus on touch-screen operation, but if you have a mouse connected to the
instrument, you can also click on objects. Likewise, if you have a keyboard connected, you can use
it instead of the virtual keyboard provided by the instrument.

If you want to connect a mouse to the instrument, use only a USB mouse.

Tool Bar 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.

Another example is these buttons that appear at the bottom of the Measure Px dialogs. Each button
opens a menu from which to choose a math trace (F1 to Fx) to display the functions named in the
