The Display Screen

Press the <Alpha> key to enter alpha mode. A caret (^) appears at the cursor position in the display screen. The portable remains in alpha mode until a function key is pressed, or until the <Alpha> key is pressed again.

<BKSP>: This is the backspace key. Press it to move the cursor one place to the left and delete the character there.

<ENTER>: Press this key to enter the current data string and move to the next programming command.

The Display Screen

The portable’s display screen can show 4 lines of text with up to 16 characters on each line. However, the unit can actually hold up to 24 lines of data with up to 80 characters on a line. Scroll the display to view data that doesn’t currently appear.

The Virtual Display

The portable’s display screen is like a window to a larger display area, called the virtual display (refer to Figure 2-3 on page 14). Data longer than 16 characters is placed in the virtual display while entering or reading information. Information automatically carries over (or “wraps”) to the next line if there are more than 80 characters in a line.
