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.
4.1.7 LCD Display
The LCD display of the RS 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
RS Series source is powered up is shown in Figure 4-6. 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 4-6. 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.
