The Front Panel at a Glance

Note The front panel shown above is the Agilent 3499B. The 3499A and 3499C

front panels are similar and have identical functionality.

1. Power On/Standby 8. Scan Keys (see page 78)

2. Reset Module/Instrument 9. Main Menu

3. Shift/Local 10. Open/Close Relay Channels

4. Store/Recall Instrument State 11. Enter a Value/Confirm Selection

5. Monitor Channel/Port/Module 12. Read/Write Digital I/O Ports

6. View Menu 13. Knob

7. Mode Menu 14. Navigation Arrow Keys

The Display at a Glance

The display is divided into several areas. The channel and slot number is

always displayed on the right corner of the display. The main area,

which is in the center of the display, is primarily used to display channel

status (open or closed), information messages, menu items, prompt infor-

mation, error messages, and so on. Around the display are annunciators

to indicate various states of the instrument operation. The annunciators

are summarized below.

Other annunciators in the display are not used in the Agilent 3499A/B/C

system.
