Chapter 4: <strong>2700</strong> <strong>Series</strong> Control Software The <strong>2700</strong> series panels<br />
Figure 13. The <strong>2700</strong> series workspace.<br />
Panels can be placed on any workspace page, and can be duplicated on<br />
more than one page. An control panel that appears on more than one page is<br />
simply a redundant display, for your convenience. The settings and results<br />
shown on redundant panels are identical, and a change made on one page is reflected<br />
on the others.<br />
The <strong>2700</strong> series panels<br />
The interaction between the control software and the <strong>2700</strong> series instrument<br />
is through control and measurement windows called panels. These can be<br />
thought of like the physical control panels often found on conventional test<br />
and measurement equipment, <strong>with</strong> range, function and trigger controls, ON<br />
and OFF switches, linear adjustment pots and sliders, numerical meter readouts,<br />
bar meters, X-Y waveform displays, graphs and so on.<br />
The <strong>2700</strong> series panels are available through menu commands, toolbar<br />
icons and keyboard shortcuts.<br />
You can control your <strong>2700</strong> series instrument from just one or two software<br />
panels, if that’s all your measurement requires. A more typical test might involve<br />
four or five panels; a complicated test, perhaps six or seven.<br />
