3-3-4 EDITING NUMERIC DATA FIELDS
The primary method of editing data in numeric data fields such as frequencies and
levels is to use DATA ENTRY Keys. The step-by-step procedure for this method is as
follows:
o Position cursor on field selected for data entry using DATA SCROLL Keys or TAB
Function.
o Enter numeric value using DATA ENTRY Keys.
o Press ENTER Key to complete operation.
A second method to change current numeric values in small amounts is to use the DATA
SCROLL Keys and/or DATA SCROLL Spinner. This method changes one digit of the
value directly, but more significant digits are affected indirectly as the edited digit
passes zero in either direction. The step-by-step procedure for this method is as
follows:
o Position cursor on field selected for data entry using DATA SCROLL Keys or TAB
Key.
o Press ENTER Key to highlight field.
o Digit in field to be edited is not highlighted. Pressing DATA SCROLL Key (
→)
moves highlight to less significant digit. Pressing DATA SCROLL Key (←) moves
highlight to more significant digit.
o Once digit to be edited is selected, press DATA SCROLL Key (
↑) to increase digit
value and DATA SCROLL Key (↓) to decrease digit value. Alternate method is to
use DATA SCROLL Spinner. Turning DATA SCROLL Spinner clockwise
increases value and counterclockwise decreases value.
o Press ENTER Key to complete operation.
3-3-5 MAKING SELECTIONS FROM MENUS
Whenever the number of selections for the position being edited exceeds the number of
available Soft Function Keys, a MENU Soft Function Key is used. Pressing the MENU
Soft Function Key opens a window of selections for the current cursor location. The
window cursor is located at the currently active selection. To choose a different
selection, move the cursor using the DATA SCROLL Keys or DATA SCROLL Spinner to
the selection. Press the ENTER Key to complete the operation.
3-3-6 ESCAPING FROM EDIT WITHOUT CHANGE
An edit procedure can be exited at any time, without change, by pressing the ESC Key.
