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 />
