Table 3–31 describes the front-panel buttons, keys and knob to use for entering
and editing text.
NOTE. It is highly recommended that you install a standard PC-style keyboard if
you intend to use the Equation editor. It is much easier to enter and edit text
from a keyboard than to use the instrument front-panel controls.
