SSPA Commands (cont.)

When an operating mode is selected, a parameter or a digit

within the parameter will be flashing on the LCD display. Use

the "RIGHT" and "LEFT" arrows buttons to sequence through the

parameters or digits to select the next parameter or digit. A

specific parameter or value is selected by pressing the "ENT"

button. If a parameter or value is selected in error, press the

clear ("CLR") button which will return the SSPA to the original

parameter or value to allow another selection.

After selecting a parameter or digit, use the "UP" or "DOWN"

arrow buttons to select the next parameter, or to increment or

decrement the value of a digit. A specific new parameter or new

value is selected by pressing the "ENT" button. If a parameter

or value is selected in error, press the clear ("CLR") button

which will return the SSPA to the original parameter or value to

allow another selection.

Each time the clear ("CLR") button is pressed, the SSPA will

return to the menu level prior to the last "ENT" command.
