Control Button

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<Down>

 

<Down> scrolls down the command list, or if the user is changing a numeric display it

 

 

 

decrements the displayed value.

 

 

 

 

 

<Up>

 

<Up> scrolls up the command list, or if the user is changing a numeric display,

 

 

 

pressing this button increments the numeric value.

 

 

 

 

 

<Tab/Esc>

 

<Tab/Esc> tabs through multiple options. When displaying a menu item, pressing the

 

 

 

<Tab/Esc> button reverses through previous commands and, if pressed repeatedly,

 

 

 

turns off the front panel display.

 

 

 

 

 

<Enter>

 

<Enter> accepts the input and executes the selected function. To abort an entry,

 

 

 

pressing <Tab/Esc> navigates to the previous item.

 

 

 

 

When entering a number, the <Up> and <Down> buttons start in the slow mode and change to the fast mode if either button is held down. Most numbers go to a maximum of 255; for a large number, it may be faster to use the <Down> button.
