3.5.2 Navigation. The menu tree is navigated using the arrow keys until the desired menu is highlighted, and then
that item may be activated. The
∧∧∧∧∧ ∨ ∨ ∨ ∨
and
∨ keys are used to move the cursor up and down through the current
menu’s item list. Pressing > or Enter/Run will activate the highlighted item and move to a subordinate menu
item associated with the selected item. Pressing < or ESC will return to the parent menu. Pressing Graph, Text
or Zero/Cal will exit Menu mode and abort any parameter editing in progress.
3.5.3 Menu Items. Menu items may be one of four types: Submenu, Numerical Value, Picklist, or Action.
a. Submenus. A submenu is simply a menu at a lower level containing more items. Activating a submenu item
will cause the current menu to become the parent menu, and the submenu will then be opened and become the
current menu.
b. Numerical Values. A numerical value is an operating parameter that can be edited. When a numerical value
item is activated, that item name (parameter) is displayed along with the highlighted current value of the
parameter. Editing is performed with the arrow keys. The default edit mode is increment/decrement mode.
Only the
∧∧∧∧∧ ∨∨∨∨
and
∨ keys are used to increment or decrement the parameter’s value by a preset amount.
