5.5 Alphanumeric Input
Three functions require not only numbers but also an input of letters:
1. Device designation or individual print header (40/24 characters)
2. Dimension for each measuring point (2 characters)
3. Measuring point designation for each measuring point (10 characters)
These parameters can, as the easiest method, be entered via the serial
interface using the AMR Control software or via any terminal (s. man. 6.2.4,
6.3.5, 6.3.6). The keyboard of the instrument can also be used for this. Apart
from the numbers printed on the keys, it is also possible to select the letters or
characters given at the right bottom by repeatedly operating the keys. The key
ENTER
has, for upper case letters and special characters (°,
Ω
, %, !) the
function of a SHIFT key
×
, and, for lower case letters, the function of the key
Ö
for moving the cursor to the next digit.
Individual Print Header / Device Designation
(see man. 6.2.4)
During measuring point scans the device designation appears as an individual
print header instead of the type designation "AMR ALMEMO 5590-2" (40
characters at max.) and in the display within the function MEAS.VALUE instead
of the device version (24 characters at max.). In case of several networked
devices it is used as a device designation and for an easier identification. As an
example, the following description describes the input of the word ´Text´.
