Setting Parameters

The R&S SMC offers several and sometimes alternative possibilities for setting parameters. Operation is possible from the front panel, with the aid of a mouse and/or from a PC keyboard.

The examples whitin this description focus on the operation from the front panel.

For more information, refer to:
  • "Legend of Front-Panel Controls" for an overview of key functions and a cross-reference between the front panel keys and the keyboard shortcuts
  • section "Instrument Functions" for a detailed description of key functions.

Most of the parameters are set in the different menus. The R&S SMC provides alternative ways for accessing the dialogs. Turn the rotary knob and navigate to the corresponding block in the block diagram and press the knob to open the dialog or perform a mouse click on the "Config..." button.

These menus can only be called with the SETUP (CTRL+E) and (CTRL+S) keys.

Frequency and level are directly set in the header area of the display using the FREQ and LEVEL keys.

Specific settings can also be made directly in the block diagram, e.g. activating a function block by means of the TOGGLE ON/OFF (CTRL+T) key or switching the RF output on and off with the aid of the RF ON/OFF (CTRL+R) key. Changes affecting the signal flow are immediately visible in the graphics display.

This section provides an information about the parameter handling.
