AWG5000 Series Quick Start User Manual

The front panel may be locked by a remote user while the arbitrary waveform generator is being remotely controlled via 
GPIB or Ethernet. When the front panel is locked, all keys and buttons are disabled except the power switch. You cannot 
use your mouse or keyboard. However, the Windows operations are available even if the instrument front panel is locked.

To unlock the front-panel controls, use a remote command or push the front-panel Cancel button twice. If you exit the appli-
cation, the lock state is cleared. When you restart the application, the front-panel controls are unlocked.

The arbitrary waveform generator offers two methods of making menu selections:

■

Front-panel controls, keyboard, and mouse (keyboard and mouse are standard accessories)

■

Front-panel controls and touch screen interface

1. You can enable or disable the touch 

screen interface by pushing the 
front-panel Touch Screen button.

To disable the touch screen, push the 
front-panel Touch Screen button. When 
the touch screen is in the Off state, the 
LED is lighted. You can still access the 
on-screen menus with a mouse or key-
board.
