6.1.2 Keypad

The keypad has an auto-repeat feature. When you hold

down a key for more than one second, the key action

repeats, automatically, at the rate of 15 keystrokes per

second. This is particularly useful when editing numeric

field with many digits, such as frequency or data rate.

The keypad functions as follows:

Key
