knobs, upon turning, display a selection of choices in
a pop-up style menu.
To scroll up/down and left/right in an LCD window,
use the up/down and left/right arrow keys of the

Numeric Keypad. And to adjust the viewing angle
and contrast of the LCD, use the small

knob to

the top right of the LCD.

Common Soft Knobs & Keys

There are several soft knobs and keys which are
common to many of the LCD screens. How these
controls operate are always identical, even if the
parameters they adjust, or select, are different.

TIP

HOT TIP! —

Explaining the common virtual knobs and keys here
means that not every soft key and knob is explained for
every LCD menu. If you are looking at an LCD menu and
don’t see all the items explained next to the manual’s
illustration, the missing controls are likely explained
here.

VGA Display

Screen Navigation

Getting around on a connected VGA Display is just
like using a regular computer because the same
mouse and PS/2 keyboard rules apply. For example,
use the mouse to click on a field and open a pull-
down menu, or enter names and values in text fields
with the PS/2 keyboard.

NOTE

Where Windows machines typically use the Control key,
and Macintosh systems use the Comand key with other
keys as keyboard shortcuts, the SX-1 uses the Alt key
together with other keys for this purpose.
