Soft Keys

Soft keys - these are the three keys directly under the display. All three have a triangle on them. Occasionally, pages will appear that allow the operator to use one of the soft keys. On those occasions, text would typically appear directly above the key and the key will have a function. Think of the text as the soft key function indicator or title. These keys will be referred to in this manual from left to right as soft keys 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

Numeric keys

These are the black keys containing numbers 0 to 9. Numbers permit data entry of parameters. See Raise and Lower for value trim.

Fixed Function Keys (at Bottom)

Underneath the numeric keys are fixed function keys. They contain universal symbols and text. The fixed function keys are Raise, Lower, Next, Prev (previous), Enter, Delete, Exit, Menu and Mute. These functions are described in the "Function keys - Fixed Functions" section of this manual.

LCD Screen

The screen shows various pages depending on operator actions. In addition, it is used to indicate warnings.

Mostly, it is used for viewing status and for setting parame- ters.
