Keypads
Keypads appear as needed to allow you to enter text and numbers. There are two types of keypad:
alphanumeric (text and numbers) and numeric (numbers only). The keypads are analogous to a
computer keyboard with on-screen buttons acting as keys (1). Enter text and numbers by tapping
the appropriate buttons in order and use the Caps Lock button (4) or Shift button (5) to select
upper or lower case characters. As you type, the characters you select are displayed in the text
window (6). The alphanumeric keypad has a Back Space button (7) to delete the last character
while all keypads include a Clear button (3) to remove all characters. When you have finished, tap
the Esc button (2) to exit without saving or the Enter button (8) to confirm your entry.

1.2.2 Navigation
Navigate the software from the Function bar at the top of the screen.
Figure 5. The Function bar
The Function bar is always visible, so you can always find the screen you want. Tap a button in the
bar to change screens immediately or open a menu with buttons for a number of related screens.
Some screens have alternative “views” to divide the information presented. For example, the
Reagent stations screen has two views, one each for bottle and wax chamber information. Use
buttons on the screens themselves to move between the alternative views.
