Keys Definition
Enter The two Enter buttons are on either side of the LCD display. In any screen,
pressing one of the Enter buttons selects the highlighted option, or
progresses through data collection screens.
Either left/right Enter key does the following in different situations:
• Same as using the Apply function key.
• Starts collecting data for the current point or accepts the current
measurement.
• Accepts changes to parameter selections.
• May be referred also as the Fire, Read, and OK key.
• In many screens the Left arrow will take you back one screen as will F4
(Esc) and the Right arrow will act the same as Enter and go forward.
Function keys The four function keys used are F1, F2, F3, and F4. The functions change
depending on the current state of the data collector.
The data collector displays the current function of the keys in the data
collector screen. When no text appears above a function key, the key is
inactive in the current window.
Many functions provide an additional row of function keys. By pressing the
shift (0) key, the data collector provides another row of function keys, still
referred to as F1…F4.
For example: When you go to the Setup menu, F1…F4 appear as Help, Cont.
- (less screen contrast), Cont. + (more screen contrast), and Apply. After
pressing the shift (0) key, the functions change to Extn Mngr (Extension
Manager) and Calib (Calibration).
You will notice that if you don’t hold down the shift (0) key for a longer
period of time the first set of functions reappear.

functions for the function keys.
