Operation

Entering Picklist Values

Note

The fine adjust knob is velocity-sensitive, meaning that the faster the

knob is turned, the more coarse the adjustment. Slow manipulation

of the knob will yield very fine resolution even beyond that displayed

by the Model 430 Programmer.

When the desired numeric value has been set using the fine adjust knob,

the

ENTER

key is pressed to store the value. Pressing the

ESC

key while

the fine adjust knob is live will cause the adjusted value to revert to its

previous setting and make the fine adjust knob inactive. In fact, pressing

any key other than

ENTER

will cause the adjusted value to revert to its

previous setting and make the fine adjust knob inactive.

Entering Picklist Values

Some submenu items require the user to select a value from a list of

predefined values (picklist values). Such menus will display an item

selector ( ) which points to the picklist value currently selected. To

change the value to another value in the picklist, first press the

ENTER

key; the display will show an asterisk (*) indicating that picklist entry is

active.

While picklist entry is active, the left and right keypad arrows (to the left

and right of the

MENU

key) move the item selector between the different

picklist values. Pressing the left keypad arrow moves the item selector one

picklist value to the left and pressing the right keypad arrow moves the

item selector one picklist value to the right. When the last picklist value is

reached, and the right keypad arrow is pressed, the item selector will move

to the first picklist value. Likewise, when the item selector is pointing to

the first picklist value, and the left keypad arrow is pressed, the item

Figure 3-3.
