Factory Personnel.
Use the “u” (Up Arrow) and “v” (Down Arrow) keys to move from one parameter to another. When the
Blinking Cursor is positioned at the parameter that needs to be modified, the “ENTER” key is used to open
that parameter to change. Use the “u” (Up Arrow) and the “v” (Down Arrow) keys to change the
parameter to the desired value, and press the “ENTER” key to accept that value.
NOTE: The “TYPE” parameter is an alphanumeric display of 10 characters that can be changed
by use of the “Arrow” keys (“u”,“v”). When the appropriate alphanumeric character is found the
“ENTER” key is used to accept that character, and move to the next character. Once all ten
characters have been selected (including spaces or blank characters) the display will return to the
Blinking Cursor.
When the Blinking Cursor is at the end of a set of parameters for one channel, the “Down Arrow” key will
move the Blinking Cursor to the next channel’s set of parameters.
