Sub-menu Trees

After pressing one of the Main Menu icons, the main menu tree is updated with the related sub-menus. Each
sub-menu and its related functions are documented in Chapter 4. A comprehensive list of menus is shown in
Figure 3-14, below:

Only one sub-menu can be expanded as needed by pressing the sub-menu header. When a new sub-menu is
expanded, the previous sub-menu automatically collapses. The sub-menus have a generalized behavior that is
common throughout the system. This behavior is described in the following paragraphs for each type of menu
control.

Entering Data and Fly-out Menus

Data parameter entry fields, such as center frequency or reference level, are accessed by pressing in the
parameter field. Pressing in a parameter field makes it active and is indicated by a shaded background
with a blinking cursor. When new menus are accessed, the default parameter field is automatically made
active. The active parameter field’s value can be incremented by using the rotary knob for fine steps or
the increment keys for coarse steps that follow the 1, 2, 3, 5 convention. Numerical data can also be
entered directly by using the keypad once the parameter field is made active.
When data is entered, a Fly-out menu flies out offering a variety of appropriate units, selections, or a
terminator operation, such as Enter or Cancel. Fly-out menus work in conjunction with the main menu
area and in some dialog boxes.
