BendixKing KLX 135A - Pilots Guide - Manual (Page 38)

The lower left corner of the display, where the page type and number
are usually displayed, can also display short operational messages to
the user called “scratchpad messages”. These messages are
displayed for approximately five seconds, then this area returns to the
page type and number. Figure 3-28
shows an example of a scratchpad
message indicating a duplicate
identifier. A complete listing of
scratchpad messages is available in
Appendix C of this Pilot’s Guide.
3.4. BASIC OPERATION OF PANEL CONTROLS
The KLX 135A controls are very easy to use. Most of the page
selection and data entry is done with the knobs on the right side of
the front panel and the cursor (
B
) button immediately above them.
The knobs on the left side and the flip-flop (
A
) button above them
control the communication transceiver. There are four buttons across
the bottom:
C (Message), D (Direct To), E (Clear), and F
(Enter). The operation of these buttons will be described on the next
few pages.
The cursor is an area of inverse video (light characters on a dark
background) on the screen. Many pages allow you to add, delete, or
change data on the screen by first pressing the
B button to turn the
cursor function on and bring the cursor on the screen. The right
knobs are then used to enter or change data. When the cursor is on
the screen, the lower left corner of the screen will show CRSR in
inverse video rather than the page
name for that particular page (figure
3-29). The cursor is over Present
Posn.
There are times when the cursor is
flashing. Figure 3-30 shows an
example of how “whiskers” are used
in this Pilot’s Guide to depict a flash-
ing cursor (over ATIS 125.15) in
addition, it shows an example of how
“whiskers” around normal text is used
to depict normal (non-inverse) char-
acters flashing. The letters Ent are
flashing but are not in inverse video.
