Editing Your Program Using Edit
Editing Lines
Use the cursor keypad on the keyboard to move around the program for
editing. The left and right arrow keys move within a program line and
the up and down arrow keys move between lines. The alphanumeric
keypad on the keyboard can be used for entering or editing text. The
key deletes the character highlighted by the cursor.
When you finish editing or changing a program line, store it into the
program by pressing on the keyboard. The computer checks the
line for syntax errors and converts letter case to the required form for
names and keywords (IBASIC commands). If no errors are detected, it
stores the line in the program buffer.
Entering Program Lines
When you finish entering or changing a program line, it must be stored
into the program buffer by entering it in one of four ways:
1. Use the key on the front panel of the analyzer.
2. Use the softkey on the instrument.
3. Use the or key on the external keyboard.
4. Use the function key on the keyboard ( ) that represents the
analyzer's softkey.
The computer checks the line for syntax errors and converts letter case to
the required form for names and keywords (IBASIC commands).
If no errors are detected, it then stores the line.
CAUTION If you move to another line without pressing ENTER, changes are lost. If
you edit or enter text on the current program line and then move off the
line without pressing ENTER, all editing on the line will be lost.
Accessing the IBASIC Command Line
When an external keyboard is attached, pressing the key will
toggle the IBASIC command line on or off. The IBASIC command line is
active when a box shaped cursor is displayed near the lower left-hand
corner of the display.
