The F4 key is a user-programmable macro key for automating complex or repetitive
tasks. The user may program this key with as many as ten functions.
Registering a program to the F4 key
1. Press the F4 key twice to show the F4 REGIS-
TER menu. (Each press of the key displays the
F4-REGISTER and F4 EXECUTION menus
alternately.)
2. Select the number to register then push the left
button. For example, select "1" and the F4-1
menu appears.
3. Select 2 TITLE then push the left
button. A keyboard appears.
4. Use the keyboard to enter program
title, using up to 15 alphanumeric
characters.
1) Place the cursor on a desired
character.
2) Push the left button. Chosen char-
acter appears below TITLE in the
menu. Numeric and alphabet may
be directly entered from keyboard-
equipped control unit.
3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 to complete
the title.

6. Operate the equipment to select setting content (max. 20 steps). For example, set
the range for 16 nm, interference rejector for 3 and echo averaging for 2. The
method for counting steps depends on the content of the step as follows:
Main menu, box menu: Each setting counts as one step. For example, if you set
20 items, that counts as 20 steps.

mode ends. If you could not record all the steps you require, do step 5 again,
staying within 20 steps.

8. Select 4 SAVE then push the left button.
