Erases the character to the left of the cursor (for user-entered data only).

(Clear-to-end key.) Erases all characters from the present cursor position to the end of the input line (for user-entered data only).

Selects the upper-case alphabetic characters or the character shown on the top half of a key.

Sets all alphabetic keys to uppercase (capitals); does not affect the other keys. To return to lowercase, press Caps Lock again.

Resets only the selected instrument (equivalent of executing *RST). RST_INST also clears the instrument’s terminal interface and remote input and output buffers. RST_INST is the only terminal interface key that can affect an instrument being operated from remote.

UTILS

CLR_INST

Clears the terminal interface input and output buffers (remote buffers are not cleared) of the selected instrument and returns to the top level of the instrument menu. Press CLR_INST whenever an instrument is busy, is not responding to terminal interface control, or to abort a command being entered from the terminal interface.

Other Keys

End of line. Enters your responses to menu prompts. Executes commands entered from the terminal keyboard (may be labeled Enter on your terminal emulator).

Selects alternate key definitions. These CTRL key sequences provide short-cuts to some of the menu sequences and also provide some functions not directly available from dedicated terminal keys. Some alternate key definitions are:

CTRL R = Instrument Reset

CTRL C = Clear Instrument

CTRL D = Select an instrument menu.

For a complete list of all CTRL Sequences, see Table 3-3 in this chapter. Users of the optional IBASIC interpreter should refer to their IBASIC manual set for additional editing functions.
