4. Press Edit Item.
The dwell time for point 1 becomes the active function.
5. Press 100 > msec.
This enters 100 ms as the new dwell time value for row 1. Note that the next item in the table
(in this case, the frequency value for point 2) becomes highlighted after you press the terminator
softkey.

7. Press Edit Item > 545 > MHz.
This changes the frequency value in row 4 to 545 MHz.
8. Highlight any column in the point 7 row and press InsertRow.
This adds a new point between points 7 and 8. A copy of the point 7 row is placed between
points 7 and 8, creating a new point 8, and renumbering the successive points.
9. Highlight the frequency item for point 8, then press InsertItem.
Pressing Insert Ite m shifts frequency values down one row, beginning at point 8. Note that the
original frequency values for both points 8 and 9 shift down one row, creating an entry for point

The frequency for point 8 is still active.
10. Press 590 > MHz.
11. Press Insert Item > -2.5 > dBm.
This inserts a new power value at point 8 and shifts down the original power values for points 8
and 9 by one row.
12. Highlight the dwell time for point 9, then press InsertItem.
A duplicate of the highlighted dwell time is inserted for point 9, shifting the existing value down
to complete the entry for point 10.
