The decimal keypad can be used at any time in lieu of the shuttle knob to change output parameters. Direct
data entry is often faster to effect large changes in values than using the shuttle knob. Note that pressing
the ENTER key while in SET mode of operation will cause the AC source to revert back to IMMEDIATE
mode. Thus, to change all parameters in SET mode, enter a value for each field and then proceed to the
next field without pressing the ENTER key.
0 through 9. The numeric keys provide all decimal number for entry of parameters.
DECIMAL POINT The decimal point key is used to enter fractional parts of values for
fields that have a resolution less than 1. The amount of resolution for
each menu field is normally visible on the LCD. If more digits are
entered after the decimal point than can be accepted by a field, the
value is automatically rounded to the available resolution when the
ENTER key is pressed.
BACKSPACE The BACKSPACE (
) key can be used to erase one digit at a time if
you make a data entry error.
5.1.7 LCD Display
The LCD display of the BPS Series power source provides information on instrument settings and also
guides the user through the various menus. To ease reading of the displayed information, most screens are
widely spaced. A sample of the main menu 1 screen that appears when the BPS Series source is powered
up is shown in Figure 5-6. Due to the amount of space available on each screen, some menus have been
split into parts. The MORE selection located at the bottom right hand side provides access to menu
choices at the same level that did not fit on a single screen. Thus, to access MENU 2, the cursor should be
placed on the ‘MORE’ selection followed by pressing the ‘ENTER’ key. Alternatively, the MENU key
may be pressed to move to the MENU 2 screen.
The present cursor position is always shown with a inverse bar. The cursor is located on the ‘MORE’
selection in Figure 5-6. Pressing ENTER would cause MENU 2 to be displayed.
The cursor position can be moved by using the UP and DOWN keys located in the DECIMAL keypad.
