(*1) Only for preset, marker and search hardkeys which can directly execute a command.
(*2) Even if GUI shows the softkey, some softkey do not show the commands. This is because there is no equivalent command.
As the softkey operation is fully supported, it is recommended to use softkey if both Softkey and Dialog box are available for the same operation.
For example, use Sweep > Main > Sweep Type to select Sweep Type instead of Sweep > Main > Sweep Setup... (dialog box).
