Keypad Entry 
 
You  can  use  keypad  entries  to  collect  additional  information  about  the 
machine  you  are  measuring  (e.g.  temperature  or  motor  current).  When 
collecting  data,  you  must  manually  enter  a  numeric  value using  your 
keypad  (rather  than  collect  data  with  a  sensor).
