10.6.1.2. Keyboard
A row of eight keys just below the vacuum florescent display (see Figure 10-20) is the
main method by which the user interacts with the analyzer. As the software is operated,
labels appear on the bottom row of the display directly above each active key, defining
the function of that key as it is relevant for the operation being performed. Pressing a
key causes the associated instruction to be performed by the analyzer.
Note that the keys do not auto-repeat. In circumstances where the same key must be
activated for two consecutive operations, it must be released and re-pressed.
