4.2 Entering Values and Strings
Entering Strings
The keyboard displayed on the screen is used to enter character strings such as file
names and comments. The jog shuttle, SELECT, and arrow keys are used to operate the
keyboard to enter the character strings.
Operating the Keyboard
1. Turn the jog shuttle to move the cursor to the character to be entered. You can
also press the soft keys corresponding to
and to move the cursor vertically.
2. Press SELECT. The character is confirmed. If a character string is already been entered,
move the cursor to the position in the string at which you want to enter a character.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to enter all the characters in the string.
4. Selecting ENT on the keyboard and pressing SELECT confirms the string and the
keyboard disappears. You can also press the ENT soft key to confirm the string and clear
the keyboard. At the same time, the confirmed string is temporarily stored. If you wish to
clear the entire string that you have entered, press RESET before confirming the string.
Recalls the temporary stored string.

Character Strings” and “Recall” described later.

memories. When the number of confirmed strings exceeds eight, the strings are deleted
in order starting from the oldest string. Symbols
