The next digit can now be changed. In order to insert “9” in place of “0”, press the
key
once:
Input of Values:
Val.[1/s]: 0290.00
Nr. of MP: 010
Time[s]: 0100
Note: If you press and hold one of the
or keys while entering numbers, the digit will fi rst
increment or decrement by +/- 1. However, after a short period of time, the process will
continue automatically. This corresponds to the Repeat Function of computer keyboards.
In the example above, the
key was pressed and held until the “9” was displayed. The
repeat function is only active during numerical and alphanumeric input.
When the desired number is displayed, accept it by pressing the OK key: the cursor now moves
to the fi rst digit of the next fi eld to be entered.
Alphanumeric inputs
Some fi elds allow for both numbers and letters. These are entered the same way as previously
discussed for numeric fi elds. The available entries are: 0 through 9, A through Z, and the blank
symbol “ ”. If you wish to change the letter “B” to the number “7”, press and hold the
or
key until the “7” appears in the display.
Alphanumeric input is available when assigning a name to a user defi ned program, or an ID to a
user defi ned test measurement.
VI.5 Menu Entries (MAIN Menu)
Menu entries (see Section VI.2) either lead to submenus (e.g. “Utilities” or “Confi guration”), or
they start one of the rheometer’s functions directly.
All gray fi elds in the tree chart in Section VI.2 that have no further right branches start functions.
Those with right branches are submenus.
Recall the keypad layout from Section VI.2. By pressing the and keys, the cursor (black
rectangle) moves up and down. The OK key starts a function. If a submenu is assigned to the
entry it will open, otherwise the function of the rheometer is started. The functions of the R/S+
Rheometer are described in detail in this section.
