Numerical entry
When you type in a number the first digit appears at the left of the display and each successive digit is then
positioned to the right of the one just entered. A number being entered over-types any existing number.
Parameter identification number (Location ID) entry
These appear on the display in the same way as for numerical entry. However, when you accept the number (by
pressing ‘b’ or ENTER), the text descriptor of the parameter with that particular number appears on line 2. You will
encounter this type of ‘pointer’ (indirection) editing if configuring the Multi-view display (see chapter 11).
