parameters. Pressing the appropriate Blue Soft Key will display the sub-menu
containing the corresponding parameters.

within the currently selected parameter. The Next key selects the next
parameter in the currently displayed menu
Numeric Keypad The number keypad allows parameters to be entered in a numeric format.
Standby/Power ( ) Pressing the Standby/Power button will turn on/off the device and will save the
current parameters before shutting down.
Run/Stop Pressing the Run/Stop will arm/disarm the system and begin generating
pulses if in the correct mode. If in triggered mode the system will be armed but
will not output pulses until a valid trigger.

perform functions similar to the Next key and select the next parameter in the currently displayed menu.
