Text Input

When you need to assign a name to a waveform file or equation, or a IP address
to the instrument, the instrument displays a text dialog box. See Figure 2–11.
The text field is where you enter or change an existing character string. The
character palette is where you select alphanumeric characters to insert into the
text field. You can also select equation or file names from the name list to insert
into the text field.

To select a character from the character palette, use the general purpose knob to
highlight a character, and then push the ENTER to insert the character into the
text field. Repeat this step until you have entered all characters in the text field.
By default, the character palette is selected. To select text from a file name list,
use the

y and b arrow buttons to move the knob icon to the file name list.

Table 2–2 describes all the controls you can use for entering and editing text.
