Conventions
This manual uses the following conventions:
Front–panel button and control labels are printed in the manual in upper case
text. For example, SETUP, SHIFT, APPL. If it is part of a procedure, the
button or control label is printed in boldface. For example, Select SETUP.
Menu and on–screen form titles are printed in the manual in the same case
(initial capitals or all uppercase) as they appear on the instrument screen (for
example, Offset Vertical). If it is part of a procedure, the menu title is shown
in boldface (for example, ‘Select the Vertical menu’).
A list of buttons, controls, and/or menu items separated by an arrow symbol
(!) indicates the order in which to perform the listed tasks. For example:
Select SETUP (front)!Vertical (bottom)!Offset (side)!10MHz (knob).
The text in parenthesis indicates the type of button, knob, menu, or form item
to select or modify, as described in the following table.
