Operation

Menu Reference

4.3.1.1

Entering Numerical Values

A common method of entering values is used within menus
requiring numerical entries. Once a menu is selected, the user
starts an entry by pressing a digit or the decimal key. The display
will begin a new entry and display a cursor

_

as a prompt for the

next digit or decimal entry. To accept the entered value, press the

ENTER

key. Values are not applied to the operation of the

instrument until the

ENTER

key is pressed and the cursor prompt

disappears from the display. An example of an entry in progress is
illustrated below:

If the

ESC

key is pressed once while entry is initiated, the entered

digits will be cleared and the cursor will remain for reentry of a new
desired value. If the

ESC

key is depressed twice, the setting will

revert to the previous value and the entry is cancelled.

4.3.1.2

Menu Option Selection

Some menus may require the user to cycle through and select from
a list of predefined options. Such menus will display the cursor

$

which indicates that a list of predefined options are available from
which to select. Pressing the

OPTION

key moves the cursor forward

within the list. The value to which the cursor points is the specified
setting and is effective immediately upon selection.

4.3.1.3

Exiting Menus

Menus are exited by pressing the

ESC

key while no numerical

entry is in progress. The display will revert to the default display
(see paragraph 4.3 above).

4.3.2

HI Menu

Accessible by pressing the

HI

key. The “HI” menu adjusts the HI

contacts are closed on the 9-pin D-sub J5A and J5B connectors on
