6.5 Getting Help
If any questions or problems concerning the R&S FPL1000 arise, an extensive
online help system is provided on the instrument and can be consulted at any
time. The help system is context-sensitive and provides information specifically
for the current operation or setting to be performed. In addition, general topics
provide an overview on complete tasks or function groups as well as background
information.
6.5.1 Calling Up Help
The online help can be opened at any time by selecting one of the "Help" icons
on the toolbar or by pressing the F1 key on an external or the online keyboard.

toolbar.
The "Help" dialog box "View" tab is displayed. A topic containing information
about the focused screen element is displayed.
