14.18 Store an ID Entry
Entering Data into an ID
If the ID value will be entirely numeric simply access
the ID, key in the ID value and press <ENTER>. Once
an entry is started, an arrow symbol will appear in the
upper line of the dot matrix display. The entered digits
will then appear on the second line and will scroll across
the lower then the upper line. You may enter up to the
maximum number of digits programmed in the Setup
Mode. Once an entry has been started, the <ID> key
acts as a BACKSPACE key. If <ID> is pressed with
only one character on the display, the entry mode would
be canceled and the previous display would appear.
Pressing <CLR> when first viewing the ID will let you
clear the existing ID contents. The ID may then be
accessed again for the new entry. <CLR> may be
pressed at any point during entry to clear the entered
characters.
If <TARE> is pressed after the ID is accessed, the
current ID data is copied into the entry buffer and the
last character of the existing ID entry would be shown in
the last (bottom right) position on the display. This lets
you add characters to the end of an existing entry or
modify the last characters by using the backspace
function.
Alphabetic and other characters may be entered at any
point by pressing the <Up Arrow> key. An "A" will
appear in the display. At this point the <Up arrow> and
<Down Arrow> keys are used to scroll up and down
through the entire standard ASCII character set. The
<Left Arrow> key can be used to backspace, shifting all
the previously entered data down toward the lower right
corner, with the last character being lost. Pressing
<Right arrow> would shift the entire previous entry
toward the left thus making room for a new character.
This new character would be an "A". If the entry length
exceeds the setup size, the error message "Entry >>
Max!" is displayed briefly. The extra characters which
surpass the setup size are automatically eliminated and
the remaining entry is then displayed. Press <ENTER>
to store the remaining entry.
Storing Data into an ID
After completing your entry, press <ENTER> to store it
as the new ID value and move to the next enabled ID. If
the ID was the last enabled ID, then the 574 will resume
the mode which was active when <ID> was first pressed.
To advance to the next ID without changing the data for
the current ID, press <ENTER> without making an
entry.
