To display a setpoint, rotate the FUNCTION switch to one of the positions shown in Table 4-2 and press
the ENTER button. The setpoint will be displayed in exponential format with the leftmost digit flashing.
Pressing the ENTER button enters whatever is displayed into the non-volatile set point memory.

To change a setpoint, the DIGIT button is pressed and released until the digit to be changed is flashing.
Then the VALUE button is pressed and released until the desired value appears. This process is
repeated for all digits to be changed. The sign of the exponent can assume the values "E" or "-". The
former represents a positive power of 10 and the latter represents a negative power of 10.

When all digits and the exponent have been changed to their desired values, the ENTER button is
pushed to enter the new value into memory. Setpoint entries not accepted by the UDR are indicated by
the error code E0002 being displayed.
