Changing Values

The buttons are used to select menu items, display more menu items in a menu list, and return to previous menus. A menu item appears over one of the four buttons. Pressing a button selects the menu item and displays the menu item’s screen. When you have reached the highest menu level, a black triangle appears beneath the selected menu item. To return to the previous menu level, press the button below 1;. To scroll through the menu items in a menu list, press the button below ###: (see Figure 3–1).

NOTE: Each time you read “press” in this manual, press and release the appropriate button beneath the menu item. For example, if you are asked to “Press PHASE,” you would press the button below the PHASE menu item.

When a value is selected, it flashes to indicate that it can be modified. A value is changed by doing the following:

•Press + (plus) or - (minus) to change numbers or scroll through available options.

•If you are entering more than a single-digit number, press <-- to move to the next higher numeric position.

•To save your changes and move to the next field, press OK.

Menu Overview

Figure 3–2 on page 12, shows the first two levels of the power meter menu. Level 1 contains all of the top level menu items. Selecting a Level 1 menu item takes you to the corresponding Level 2 menu items. Additional menu levels may be provided, depending on the specific meter features and options.

NOTE: Press ###: to scroll through all menu items on a given level.
