Pop‑up list boxes or edit boxes are used to provide selection lists and selection editors. Scroll through a list of items or parameters with the arrow keys or the rotary knob. Select numerical values by scrolling with the arrow keys or rotary knob or by entering the digits directly from the number keypad. These list boxes and edit boxes frequently display a range of possible values or limits for possible values.
Finalize the input by pressing the rotary knob or the Enter key. At any time before finalizing the input, press the escape (
Esc) key to abort the change and retain the previously existing setting.
When entering text (as when saving a measurement) the submenu key for Text Entry displays the characters (alphabet, hyphen, and underscore) in 6 letters per key (Refer to
Figure 1‑9). Characters can be entered by using the rotary knob or by using the submenu keys. Refer to
Figure 1‑7,
Figure 1‑8 and
Figure 1‑9.
The rotary knob scrolls through the characters in a pop‑up window and is pressed to select each character in sequence.
Alternatively, press the a b c / d e f submenu key (for example) to open another submenu with a separate key for each of these letters. The menu returns to the complete character set after each individual letter is entered.
Use the arrow keys to navigate within a name or character string. Use the Shift key for capital letters. Press the
Enter key or the rotary knob to finalize a text entry.
