Instrument dialog

The instrument dialog of the 766 IC Sample Processor is organized in

the form of so-called rolling inquiries which are arranged in menu levels

in a hierarchical manner and are subject to the following rules:

Main menu

The main function keys <CONFIG>, <PARAM> and <USER

METHOD> of the 766 IC Sample Processor open a main menu whose

thematically arranged submenus are selected by repeated pressing of

this key or with <ê>. The name of the key always appears in the top

line of the display.

Submenu

Each submenu has a title marked by

"

>

"

which appears in the bottom

line of the display. <ENTER> is used to move from the title to the indi-

vidual inquiries, which are used to change the most important settings

of the instrument. The top line of the display always shows the title of

the active submenu.
Navigating within the menus is accomplished with the cursor keys;

<HOME> jumps to the first, <END> to the last menu line.
<QUIT> exits the active menu, opens the next highest menu level or

returns to the normal state.
<ENTER> either opens a submenu or confirms data entry at the low-

ermost menu level.

Inquiries

In inquiries without

, the values must be entered using the numeric

keys. <ENTER> is used to accept the inputted value and the next in-

quiry appears.
In the case of inquiries with

:

"

, the admissible values can be selected

with the <SELECT> key>. <ENTER> is used to accept the set value

and the next inquiry appears.
Depending on the parameter, <CLEAR> is used to reset the displayed

value to the smallest possible value or the default value. The

<CLEAR> key also serves to abort wrong entries.
<QUIT> is used to quit the inquiries and return to the main menu.
