3.4. BASIC OPERATION OF PANEL CONTROLS
The KLN 35A controls are very easy to use. Most of the page selec-
tion and data entry is done with the knobs on the right side of the
front panel and the cursor (
B
) button immediately above them. The
G
button is located on the left side , and there are four buttons
across the bottom:
C
(Message),
D
(Direct To),
E
(Clear), and
F
(Enter). The operation of these buttons will be described on the
next few pages.
The cursor is an area of inverse video (light characters on a dark
background) on the screen. Many pages allow you to add, delete, or
change data on the screen by first pressing the
B
button to turn the
cursor function on and bring the cursor on the screen. The right
knobs are then used to enter or
change data. When the cursor is on
the screen, the lower left corner of the
screen will show CRSR in inverse
video rather than the page name for
that particular page (figure 3-30). The
cursor is over Present Posn.
There are times when the cursor is
flashing. Figure 3-31 shows an
example of how “whiskers” are used
in this Pilot’s Guide to depict a flash-
ing cursor (over ATIS 125.15). In
addition, it shows an example of how
“whiskers” around normal text is used to depict normal (non-inverse)
characters flashing. The letters Ent are flashing but are not in
inverse video.
3.4.1. PAGE SELECTION
It is now time to learn to select a desired page.
NOTE: The cursor function is not used in selecting pages and the
B
button should not be pressed at this time. If CRSR is annunciat-
ed in the lower left corner of the display, press the
B
button to turn
the cursor function off.
