SELECT Key
When a menu item is highlighted, indicated by white text on a raised effect title, pressing
SELECT activates that item.
When a settings box is highlighted, indicated by a RED outline to the box, pressing SELECT
selects the box for editing, indicated by a gold background.
When a settings box has been edited using the data input keys, the cursor keys or the rotary
control, pressing SELECT prevents further editing, indicated by a white background.
When a button is selected, indicated by a RED outline to the button, pressing SELECT changes
the state of the button.
CANCEL Key
When data input keys are used to select a Numeric Entry Box or Text Entry Box for editing this
key cancels any changes that have been made and restores the original setting as long as the
ENTER Key or the RETURN Key has not been pressed. CANCEL does not restore a value to a
previous setting if the setting has been changed using the Cursor Keys
or Rotary Control Knob.
While a menu is displayed, pressing CANCEL closes the menu without activating the highlighted
menu item.
Cursor Keys
The Test Set contains four directional cursor keys.
When a menu is selected, the < and > cursor keys navigate the focus to the left or right between
menu levels; the ∧ or ∨ cursor keys navigate the focus up or down the menu. The highlighted
item is then activated by pressing the SELECT Key
.
When a menu is not selected, the < and > cursor keys select, in sequence, the fields, boxes and
buttons on the current Tile or page, the ^ and v cursor keys select fields, boxes and buttons that
are above or below an item that is selected. The highlighted item is then activated with the
SELECT Key
.
When a Numeric Entry box is selected, pressing the < or > cursor keys decreases or increases
the level of significant digits incremented or decremented. The ^ or v cursor keys increment or
decrement the highlighted value.
ENTER Key
Enables the values that have been entered using the data input keys. New values are not
effective until this key or the SELECT Key
has been pressed. The background on a selected
Numeric Input Box or Text Entry Box remains gold while the box is in the edit state.
Data Entry Input Keys
Numeric/Alphabetic Keys
Data entry keys enter numeric values or text into a selected data entry box. Numerals are
entered into numeric data fields by a single press of the key. Text is entered into a data entry
box using the keys with the appropriate characters.
Most keys have several characters assigned, called out by rapid repeat presses. As an example,
to enter a ‘C’ into a text box, press the ABC/2 key six times. To enter a ‘2’ press the ABC/2 key
seven times. All sequences repeat when more than the required key presses are used.
