Hotkey Assign.

Hotkey
Assign.

The Hotkey Assign. hotkey activates the assign mode used to assign a softkey to the function group, signalling mode and measurement menu currently selected.

The six softkeys of the Menu Select menu belonging to Hotkeys Set 1 have a default assignment. In normal mode, each hotkey gives direct access to the menu assigned to it. Another two sets, each containing six softkeys, can be accessed by pressing the Hotkeys Set 2 or Hotkeys Set 3 hotkeys, respectively.

In the assign mode, the Hotkey Assign. softkey turns into Exit Assign softkey and Hotkey Assignment is displayed in the header of the Menu Select menu.

To assign a softkey (or to change the current assignment), select the desired function group, mode and menu, and press Hotkey Assign. followed by the softkey. Press Exit Assign. to quit the assign mode.
To cancel a hotkey assignment, press Hotkey Assign. followed by the DEL (delete) key and the softkey. Press Exit Assign. to quit the assign mode.

Note 1:
An empty configuration (all hotkeys de-assigned) will not be stored after Exit Assign. Instead the CMU restores the default hotkey assignment of the current function group.

Note 2:
A user-defined assignment is retained even after a Reset of all function groups (Reset key).

Remote control
The CMU uses extended addressing: The instrument itself is identified by the primary GPIB address. Moreover, a secondary address must be assigned to any combination of a function group and a signalling mode. This is done with the command

SYSTem:REMote:ADDRess:SECondary <Addr>,<FGrp>

Primary and secondary address handling is described in the remote control sections (in particular, refer to section Outline - Remote Control and the program examples in the manual, section Introduction - Program Examples).
