Changing or calculating

programming to calculate parameter values.

Insert mode and the pocket calculator are activated.
You can move around within the input field using the "Cursor left" and
"Cursor right" keys.

calculator".

parameterization screen form, you can close the screen form and
save the parameters.

îš¾ Press the "Accept" softkey or the "Cursor left" key.
If there are several input fields in a line and you want to use the
"Cursor left" key to accept the parameters, you must position the
cursor in the leftmost input field.
You cannot accept the parameters if they are incomplete or obviously
erroneous. In this case, you can see from the dialog line which
parameters are missing or were entered incorrectly.
