Quick Start

One of the first things to do with your instrument is to become

acquainted with the front panel. We have written the exercises in this

chapter to prepare the instrument for use and help you get familiar with

some of its front-panel operations.

The front panel has several groups of keys to select various functions and

operations. A few keys have a shifted function printed in blue below the

key. To perform a shifted function, press (the SHIFT annunciator

will turn on). Then, press the key that has the desired label below it. For

example, to select the Utility Menu, press .

If you accidentally press , just press it again to turn off the SHIFT

annunciator.
