The cursor over the first letter of the units specifier (liD" in OM) indicates that Knob
Hold has been selected on some function. (There is no cursor over any of the amplitude
digits because the Knob is "held" on RF frequency which has two cursors over its
setting.) Now, turning the Knob changes frequency while selecting the Step keys (or
Data keys or [ RF OFF ON ) ) changes amplitude. All this can be done without needing
to select the active function's keys again.
