Switching
A Switching soft key is used to open an additional soft key menu, and it has an arrow
mark (-->) in the lower right corner of the virtual key face.
Some
Select soft keys become Switching soft keys after being pressed (after becoming active).
These keys do not display the arrow mark until their circle is red. An additional press, after
the circle is red and the arrow mark is displayed, opens the additional soft key menu. Refer to
section “Select” on page 2-7.
The
Switching soft key that is labeled More opens a menu with additional soft key functions.
The
Switching soft key that is labeled Back returns to a previous soft key menu. The Back key
has the arrow mark (<--) in the lower left corner of the virtual key face.
2-8 Parameter Setting
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.
Some parameters (such as for antennas or couplers) can be added to list boxes by creating
them and importing them through the use of Master Software Tools.
2-9 Text Entry
When entering text (as when saving a measurement) the soft key menu for Text Entry displays
the characters (alphabet, hyphen, and underscore) in 6 letters per soft key. Characters can be
entered by using the rotary knob or by using the soft keys.
The rotary knob scrolls through the characters in a pop-up window and is pressed to select
each character in sequence.
Alternatively, press the
abc/def soft key (for example) to open another soft key menu 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.
