Adjusting Parameters
Adjusting parameters within a screen, requires two steps:

Some parameters allow different formats of their values. For example,
the pulse width can be displayed and entered as an absolute value, as
duty cycle (percentage of the period), or as the delay of the trailing edge.
The following sections show the standard procedure for adjusting
parameters, and list some features useful for the advanced user.
