Setting Up the Entry Window
The instrument parameters are not entered at the location where the parameter is displayed but in an
individual entry window.
The entry window is called by a softkey or a hardkey and is used for definition of numeric or
alphanumeric instrument parameters (START FREQUENCY by way of example):
START FREQUENCY
10.2457535 GHZ
START FREQUENCY OUT OF RANGE

Status and error messages
Subsequent to calling the entry window the current parameter value including the unit is displayed in the
editing line. Status and error messges which refer to the current entry are displayed in the third and
(optionally) fourth line.
The entry window is displayed in the left upper edge of the active measuring window with the default
setting. When a mouse is connected to the instrument, open entry windows can be shifted to any
position on the screen provided that they do not cover the softkey line. The new position is valid until
measuring window is selected. The data entry window is represented transparent or non-transparent, as
required.
Alphanumeric parameters are displayed as a simple character string in the editing line. Numeric
parameters which consist of mantissa, exponent and unit are set up as follows:
Mantissa
Exponent
Unit
-123.456789 E-12 MHz

Setup of numeric parameters
The first character is the sign of the mantissa, the positive sign is not displayed. The
actual numeric value follows. The number of digits depends on the instrument
parameter. The cursor may be shifted to the first digit of the mantissa at maximum,
however, it may not precede the sign. The decimal point can be set as required.
The exponent is separated from mantissa by a space character. The sign field of the
exponent follows the "E", the positive sign "+" being not displayed similar to the
representation of the mantissa. The cursor skips the "E" and the sign field. Two
characters are fixed for the exponent value.
The unit (not represented in editing mode) is separated from the exponent by a space
character.
The number of digits which can be entered for each instrument parameter is limited by the width of the
input field only, but not by the amount which is physically enabled. (Example: Levels should be indicated
with two decimals. The user may, however, enter as many decimals as desired - the entered value is
rounded accordingly).
