AM700 Audio Measurement Set User Manual

Many AM700 operations are started by selecting soft keys (shown in Figure 2-2)

using the touch screen (touching the display in the right place to invoke some

function). In some menus, numerical values are entered either from the keypad or

with the control knob.

Front panel buttons with gold outlines (Copy, Average, Cursor, Sound, Filter, Sound

On, User, and Units) have two possible behaviors, depending on how you use them

and the application or display that is running. If you press a button that is not used

by an application, no action occurs.

1. When pressed and immediately released, each of the gold-outlined buttons

performs a default action (turning on or off the specified feature).

2. When any of the gold-outlined buttons is pressed and held for one second or

more, a configuration menu related to its operation is displayed.

NOTE. The button default action (selected when you press and release the front-

panel button) does not occur when exiting a press/hold menu. Instead, you must

again press and release the button to perform the default action.

The LEDs associated with these buttons track the action you select, not the

configuration menu associated with the hard key. For example, the Filter hard key

LED lights only when you select filtering.

During operation of the AM700 the following objects can appear in the display:

H One to four measurement view windows

H Generator Status area

H Generator Control Panel

H Menu and Soft Keys selections

H Operational status and Real Time measurement displays

H Notifier messages

An example is the Filter menu. Filters are only available in Audio Analyzer, so when the Digital Interface Tester

or the FFT analyzer is running, pressing the Filter button has no effect.
