Menus may include a number of different pages in which each page contains
up to four parameters. The status block in the upper-left corner of the display
shows a vertical arrow if the current menu contains additional pages. To select
the next page, select the same menu pressing the FUNCTION key and function
again.
Selecting Menu Items
Within a menu, the blinking cursor indicates the current menu item for editing.
The NEXT key or pressing the adjustment knob will select a different menu item.
Numeric Input Mode
When the current item is numeric, the system enters the Numeric Input Mode. In
this mode data may be edited in one of three ways. Using the arrow keypad, the
Left and Right arrow keys are used to select a digit to edit. The selected digit
blinks to identify itself as the active digit. The Up and Down arrow keys are then
used to increment or decrement this digit. Alternately, after using the Left and
Right arrow keys to select an active digit, the adjustment knob may be used to
increment and decrement this digit. The adjustment knob features speed de-
pendent resolution. Slow rotation will increment or decrement the active digit by
one. As you increase the speed of rotation, the parameter will be 10 to 1000
times faster depending on the speed.
The last entry mode is using the numeric keypad. Enter the number, including
decimal point using the numeric keypad. Complete the number using the EN-
TER key. Errors may be corrected using the backspace key. To start over,
press the clear key (CLR). Pressing the CLR key a second time will exit the
numeric keypad mode and restore the original number.
Entering Non-Numeric Parameters
When the current item is non-numeric, the Up and Down arrow keys are used to
select among different options for the parameter. The adjustment knob may also
be used to change the selection. If the item is an on-off toggle, the Up arrow
(CW adjustment knob) enables the item and the Down arrow (CCW adjustment
knob) disables the item.
Alphanumeric Input Mode
When the current item is alphanumeric, the system enters the Alphanumeric Input
Mode. In this mode, data is entered using the alphanumeric keypad. When
entering alphanumeric values, pressing a key will display the first letter shown on
the keypad. Repeated key presses will toggle through all the letters, both upper
and lower case, shown on the key cap. To enter two letters which appear on the
same key cap, select the first character, then use the right arrow to shift to the
next position and enter the next letter. The Left and Right arrow keys may be
used to position the cursor to edit any character. When data entry is complete,
the ENTER key must be pressed. The keys contain the following characters:
• 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
• 2 A B C a b c 2
