Towards the bottom of the touch screen are two small windows, the Status Display and the Input Display. The
Status Display shows the current date and time, the ADD / SWAP status of the console and other relevant status
information.
The Input Display shows the data that has been currently entered through the keypad and the keyboard. Note that
text is not entered into the main Windows until ENTER is pressed. This allows the user to choose whether the
keyboard data is SET into fields in the windows or onto Playbacks.
After a command has been entered it also confirms that the command has been accepted and shows any error
messages when a command is not possible.
