Note: Operating modes can be changed from the Operating mode option. Refer to section 5.6.
Navigating through the various menus could be done using the touch-screen display or the rotary encoder.
Tapping the display screen or tapping with the encoder on any menu or function that is highlighted (active)
will enter that menu or execute that function.
The touch-screen utilizes resistive, pressure-actuated technology, and depends on pressure being applied
to the top surface of the screen to detect the position of the input. A fingertip, fingernail, or stylus pen could
be used. To prevent scratching the surface layer, do not use a hard or sharp tip, such as a ballpoint pen
or mechanical pencil.
CAUTION!
Damage or scratching of the touch-screen could occur if excessive pressure is
applied to the surface, or if objects with hard/sharp tips are used.
The present cursor position is always shown with a selection box that has a highlighted border around a
field. Some screens have multiple pages, as indicated by the highlighted Arrow icons located on the right
side of the screen: for example, the default HOME Screen can be scrolled through three pages. Tapping
an Arrow or selecting it with the rotary encoder and tapping the switch, scrolls the screen to the next page.
When outside one of the HOME screens, tapping the HOME icon will exit that screen and return to the
HOME screens. Refer to Figure 5-3.

Parameters that are adjustable have selection fields where values could be entered. The parameter
selection field that is active has its border highlighted; refer to Figure 5-4, where the Dashboard Menu is
shown with the Voltage selection field active. Tapping the selection-field box, selects that parameter for
adjustment, and the screen changes to the numeric keypad that allows value entry; refer to Figure 5-6.
