Menu Example 1: Setting the Time and Date
In this example, you will learn the fundamentals of using the 34980A
front- panel menus by setting the date and time. Begin by pressing the
Utility menu key, then use the Utility key, knob and arrow keys to
navigate the menu as shown below. Follow the menu prompts as they are
displayed.
A list of menu navigation hints is provided below:
• The navigation structure of the front panel menus is hierarchical, and
the menus are self- guiding; as you use the front panel, you may be
prompted to enter specific parameters. The menu key in use (e.g.
Utility) will be backlit to indicate that you must select a parameter or
that additional parameters are required in that menu.
• To select another choice (other than the one displayed) at a given
menu level, turn the knob.
• To select a displayed parameter and move to the next parameter,
press either the lighted menu key (e.g. Utility) or ENTER.
• To save changes, keep other parameters at their same value, and
immediately exit the menu, press EXIT MENU.
• To exit a menu without saving any changes, press CANCEL (located
next to the number keypad).
• To select slots and channels so they appear in the green channel field,
use the knob. To enter alphanumeric characters, use the knob. To
enter numbers, use the number keypad or the knob.
• To move the display cursor position, use the left and right arrow keys.
• When you have entered all required parameters, the lighting on the
menu key will turn off.
