ENTERING DATA
Before proceeding to the various modes of sweep generator operation,
you need to know how to enter data from the front panel. Entering
data refers to changing a parameter’s value by editing its current
value or entering a new value to replace the current value. The follow-
ing instructions describe how to (1) open a parameter, (2) edit its cur-
rent value, and (3) enter a new value.
A typical 681XXA menu display (shown below) is used throughout the
data entry instructions. At this menu display, you can edit both the
CW frequency and the output power level parameters.
If you wish to follow along on your synthesizer, you can obtain this
same menu display by resetting your instrument (press
SYSTEM
,
then press
Reset
).
Opening the
Parameter
In order for the value of a parameter to be changed,
the parameter must first be opened.
To open the frequency parameter from the above
menu, press
Edit F1
. The menu display now
changes to show that the menu soft-key
Edit F1
has been pressed and that the frequency parameter
has been opened. An open parameter is indicated by
placing it in a window with a movable cursor under
its digits.
Only one parameter can be open at a time. If you
press
Edit L1
, then the frequency parameter will
close and the power level parameter will open.
