How to Change the Value of a Parameter
What follows is a description of the various ways of changing the value of
parameters. Examples in which particular parameter values are changed
are given with the parameter descriptions.

• discrete, you may choose a value from a menu.

You can select the parameter from the following screens:
• from the Details screen, after pressing the [Details] softkey,
• from the Menu screen, after pressing the [Menu] softkey, or,
