:HELP:MODE
Supported All
:SYSTem:HELP:MODE SINGle|CONTinuous
:SYSTem:HELP:MODE?
This command sets the mode of the signal generator’s help function.
SINGle Help is provided only for the next key that you press.
CONTinuous Help is continuously provided for the next key and subsequent keys
you press. In addition, the key’s function is executed.
Pressing the
Help hardkey in either mode, while the help dialog box is displayed, will
turn help off.
*RST N/A
