2-8 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Menu Operations
This section describes the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator
menu system and numeric and text input methods.
Menu System
The AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator uses menus to make
selections. There are four menu buttons, labeled EDIT, SETUP, APPL, and
UTILITY, as shown in Figure 2-7. Pushing a menu button displays the
corresponding screen and menu buttons. These menus let you edit waveforms,
initialize instrument settings, define instrument operation, and specify waveform
output parameters.
You select items within the displayed menu by pushing the bottom or side bezel
button nearest to the menu item. These buttons consist of seven bottom buttons and
five side buttons, as shown in Figure 2-7. These menu bezel buttons are referred to
as bottom menu buttons (or bottom buttons) and side menu buttons (or side
buttons).
The CLEAR MENU button cancels the current menu operation, clears the current
menus from the screen, and exits to the previous instrument state.
