The ENTER/YES button also blinks to indicate that you can press it to view additional
options. EXIT/NO flashes at times to show you can press it to exit the current screen.

The SHIFT Button

Many of the VS-2480’s buttons perform more than one job—these
buttons often have an upper label and a lower label that’s printed
inside an outline box. The un-boxed label shows the button’s
primary function, the boxed label its secondary use.
To cause a button to perform its secondary job, hold down SHIFT and press
the button before letting go SHIFT.

Using a Mouse

The VS-2480 uses a two-button mouse. If we say to “click” the mouse, click the left-hand
button. You can click the right-hand button to display various pop-up menus.

Mouse Cursors

The cursor changes to show you what the mouse can do as you move it over different
items on the display.
If you prefer, you can always use the Enter key on your keyboard instead of ENTER/
YES, or the Esc key instead of EXIT/NO.
You can set the SHIFT button so that it toggles on and off with each touch
to cut down on SHIFT-button presses. See “SHIFT LOCK” on Page 363.
This cursor: Means that the mouse:
is moving between items on the display. On the Home screen, you can

through its values by repeatedly clicking. If it’s an adjustable
parameter, you’ll see either of the next two cursors after you click.

is ready to move whatever’s beneath the mouse to a new location.
is ready to copy whatever’s beneath the mouse by dragging; this

desired value with your mouse without having to select the parameter first.
