Figure 5-4. Entry Keys

These keys let you scroll through choices in a parameter list that apply to a specific command. Parameter lists are circular; you can return to the starting position by continuously pressing either key. If the command has a numeric range, these keys increment or decrement the existing value. In meter mode, these

keys can be used to adjust the magnitude of the output

voltage or current. Only

the flashing digit is changed by these keys. Use the á

and â

keys to move

the flashing digit.

 

 

These keys move the flashing digit in a numeric entry field to the right or left. This lets you increment or decrement a specific digit in the entry field using the

ãand ä keys or the RPG knob.

0 through 9 are used for entering numeric values. . is the decimal point. −

is the

minus sign. For example, to enter 33.6 press: Enter Number, 3, 3, . ,

6,

Enter.

 

The backspace key deletes the last digit entered from the keypad. This key lets you correct one or more wrong digits before they are entered.

This key aborts a keypad entry by clearing the value. This key is convenient for correcting a wrong value or aborting a value entry. The display then returns to the previously set function.

This key executes the entered value or parameter of the presently accessed command. Until you press this key, the parameters you enter with the other Entry keys are displayed but not entered into the dc source. Before pressing Enter, you can change or abort anything previously entered into the display. After Enter is pressed, the dc source returns to Meter mode.
