CTS 850 SDH/PDH Test Set
What is a Menu?
A menu groups related functions together. For example, all settings
that affect the signal transmitted by the CTS 850 are located in the
TRANSMIT menu. Each menu is made up of pages. A page is
identified by a page tab located at the bottom of the display (see
Figure A 1).
If the choice is not available, it is not displayed or it is not high-
lighted.
The CTS 850 always displays a menu. The name of the current menu
is shown near the top of the display. To change to another menu,
press a menu button on the front panel.


NOTE. The only time pressing a menu button does not change menus
is when a dialog box is displayed or when you are entering a value
for a parameter. You must first exit the dialog box or finish entering
the value before you can change menus.
