[0] - [F]
The sixteen hexadecimal keys are used as general purpose data entry
keys. These keys allow for the direct entry of numeric values into
numeric display fields. When in the memory view mode, [0] - [9]
are used to specify record memory locations. When in the bus
display mode and in the talk state, [0] - [F] output data on the bus
data lines. When in the bus display mode and in the listen state, [0]
- [F] store data that will be output when the Analyzer488 is put into
the talk state.
[ENTER]
The Enter key, [ENTER], is used within menus to choose or accept
menu selections and, if more menus are provided, advance to the
next menu. When in the memory view mode, [ENTER] is used to
enter record memory location addresses. When in the bus display
mode and [STEP] handshaking is selected, [ENTER] is used to
force a source (talk state) or acceptor (listen state) handshake.
[EXIT]
The Exit key, [EXIT], is used like [ENTER] to choose menu
selections but, if more menus are available, [EXIT] leaves the
current menu with unselected menus unchanged. Changes made in
menus are accepted when [EXIT] is used.
