Before shutting down, it is recommended that you first exit the instrument application and any other active Windows applications
to avoid error messages on shutdown or the next power up.
TIP. To exit the instrument application and shut down in one step, select Shutdown in the File menu.
Touch screen
You can use touch to control the instrument in addition to the front-panel controls, toolbar buttons, and menu options. Generally,
touch can be used anywhere that click is mentioned in this online help.
To disable the touch screen (SX instruments require the DPO7AFP Auxiliary Front Panel), push the front-panel Touch Screen
button. When the touch screen is off, the button is lighted. You can still access the on-screen menus with a mouse or keyboard.
To adjust the touch screen operation to your personal preferences, select Touch Screen > Calibrate from the Utilities menu.
NOTE. If the instrument is powered on in Windows Safe Mode, the touch screen is inoperative. You may need to use a mouse or
keyboard to restore normal operation.
