Figure 2-10: Keypad buttons
The G, M, k, m,
m, n, and p are unit buttons. The A, B, C, D, E, and F buttons
are used for entering hexadecimal values.
To use the numeric keypad to enter a value, position the caret to where you want
to change a value, and then push a keypad button. If you want to enter a unit
value labeled in blue just above each numeric button, push or hold down the
SHIFT button, and then push the corresponding numeric button.
To enter or change more than one character, move the caret to the next position
to change. When you are done entering values, push the ENTER button to
confirm the changes and enter them into the instrument. For example, to enter
200.5
ms, push 2, 0, 0, ., 5, m (SHIFT + 4),and ENTER.
When you enter a value larger than the maximum value in the range for the
parameter, the parameter will be set to the maximum value. When you enter a
value smaller than the minimum value, the minimum value will be set in the
parameter. To set to the maximum or minimum value, enter a larger value or
smaller value. This is useful when you do not know the range that can be set.
Note that the current unit is always kept when you just use the ENTER after
entering digits. For example, suppose that the Clock is currently set
to100.0 MS/s. When you press the 5, 0 and ENTER buttons in this order, the
Clock will be set to 50.0 MS/s. To set the Clock to 500 kS/s, press 0, ., 5 and
ENTER buttons, or 5, 0, 0, SHIFT, and 8 buttons in this order.
