Change VNA Display Settings

The VNA display is controlled by a third-party display driver. This driver is capable of producing many display effects which are beyond the basic needs of the VNA measurement environment. Keysight does not specify or warranty these display settings.

WARNING: The VNA display must remain in the 16-bit color setting in order to comply with international emissions regulations.

Restore VNA Display Settings

When using external programs to control the VNA, it is possible that the display settings may become corrupt. When this occurs, the following will restore the VNA display settings:

Press System > Main > Minimize Application.
Right-click on the desktop, then click Personalize.
On the Themes tab, select Keysight Theme.

About the Touchscreen

The VNA is equipped with a 12.1-inch High resolution, color, touch-sensitive LCD screen for displaying traces, softkeys, and other measurement related information. The touchscreen LCD allows you to make measurement settings by touching the LCD screen directly with a finger.

Important:

Do not press the surface of the LCD screen with a sharp object such as a pen. This will damage the LCD screen surface or cause the screen to fail.
Occasionally, a few pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. This is not a failure of the LCD screen and does not affect the performance of your product.
Because of the LCD screen, burn-in is not likely. In addition, we do not recommend using a screen-saver on the VNA.
