Readout Style
Press this soft key to open a list box and select a chart style. Choose a graph type from the list: Log Mag, Log Mag and Phase, Phase, Real and Imaginary, SWR, Impedance, Admittance, Normalized Impedance, Normalized Admittance, Polar Impedance, Group Delay, Log Mag/2, Linear Magnitude, and Linear Magnitude and Phase. Scroll with the arrow keys or the rotary knob. Press the rotary knob or the Enter key to select. Press the Esc key to cancel and return to the Marker Menu without changing the readout style.
