This command closes the active window. If two windows are open,

using Close will close the active window and make the previously inactive
window the new active window.

This command may also be selected without pulling down the File menu
by pressing <Ctrl C>.

5.7.4 Virtual Front Panel

This command opens a window that gives you direct control over

the bus data and management lines. The control functions are separated
into logical areas for easy identification. The right and left cursor keys are
used to move between fields.

5.7.4.1 Source Control

The Talk/Listen state of the Analyzer488 may be changed

by pressing the <T> and <L> keys respectively while this field is
active. The <up> and <down> cursor keys may also be used to
change the state.

5.7.4.2 Message Entry

The state of the data lines may be set by entering a Bus or

ASCII message in this field followed by a <CR>. The state of the
data and ATN lines will be set automatically.

If this field is not active, this position displays the message

corresponding to the current state of the data lines.

5.7.4.3 Hexadecimal Data Entry

The state of the data lines may also be set by entering a

hexadecimal digit while this field is active. Valid digits are 0-9
and A-F. They are shifted in from the right when entered. Also,
the <up> and <down> cursor keys may be used to increment and
decrement this value.
