SUMMARY OF KEYPAD OPERATIONS 2.4.
The previous example showed you these useful features:
Drive Selection: In steps 3 through 7 you set up the system
to execute programs from Drive 2.
UUT Type: In step 9 you typed ABC to specify the UUT
being tested. A UUT is a Unit Under Test.
Program Name: In step 11 you typed TEST1 to specify
which program to execute. TEST1 is one of many programs, all
located in the ABC directory.
ARROW Keys: In steps
4,6,
and 10 you used arrow keys to
move the cursor from field to field.
ALPHA Key and Light: In step 8 the ALPHA light came on
to show that the keypad was in alphanumeric mode. When the
ALPHA light is on, pressing the ALPHA key turns it off; when
the light is off, you cannot use grey keys to type letters into
fields.
Softkey
Fields: Steps 4, 5, and 7 show how to use
softkeys
(Fl
through
F5)
to change fields. When
softkey
labels are
displayed, do not use anything but a
softkey
to change the field.
The MORE
SOFTKEYS
light reminds you to press the SOFT
KEYS key to scroll hidden
softkey
labels into view.
Alphanumeric Fill-in Fields: Steps 9 and 11 show how to
change fields by typing alphanumeric characters into them.
These fields, indicated by the red ALPHA light, are typically
names of components, files, or
UUTs.
They are blank at reset
or power-up but retain characters later typed into them. The first
character typed causes old ones to disappear, leaving room for
new ones.
