The remote control commands SYSTem:USER:KEY... place up to 8 softkeys with arbitrary functionality on the remote screen. The softkeys replace the default softkeys Go to Local and Display On/Off.
Pressing a user softkey or clicking the corresponding command across the top of the remote screen executes the assigned functionality.
If you want to use more than 8 user keys, you can easily
introduce additional levels: Simply reserve one key for re-defining the
entire user key bar. If you press or click the key, your remote script
should re-assign the labels and functions of the existing keys. If you
use this procedure repeatedly, you can emulate an arbitrary number of
manual control features on your remote screen.
The commands in the DISPlay:MENU:KEY... subsystem open the manual control screen, activate menus or submenus for manual control, or execute a specified menu command.
DISPlay:MENU:KEY:EXECute '<menu_key>' can be used in different ways:
-
If the menu key causes an event (e.g. selection of the measured quantity: S11, S12 etc.), the function is executed immediately. No further action is required; the instrument remains in remote control mode.
-
If the menu key requires a numeric entry (e.g. entry of the sweep range: Start, Stop etc.) the command opens the numeric entry bar. The instrument is switched back to remote control mode as soon as the entry has been made manually.
-
If the menu key requires several entries to be made in a dialog or in a wizard (e.g. the S-Param Wizard), the command opens this dialog/wizard. All entries can be made manually. The instrument is switched back to remote control mode as soon as the dialog or wizard is closed.
DISPlay:MENU:KEY:EXECute
'<menu_key>' works for all menu keys, even though the analyzer
may not provide an equivalent remote control command.
