escape from the edit and return to the original number.

screen will now be displayed again, this time with the new parameters.

created.
Test Parameter Notes
Once you begin typing a new number, the parameter will go blank and the
cursor will begin blinking. This indicates that the parameter is being edited.
Once a parameter is edited, it is necessary to complete the edit either by
pressing the ENTER key to accept the new number or the EXIT key to escape
from the edit and return to the original number. The one exception to this rule
is the Scanner parameter. The Scanner parameter will not go blank when
being edited.
When the ENTER key is pressed to accept a parameter change, the instrument
will automatically bring up the next Test Parameter Edit screen.
The Test Parameter Edit screen displays the Range of the parameter that is
highlighted. Use this as a guide when setting your parameters.
The soft keys in the Parameter Menus select different conditions and no data
entry is required, i.e. the “Frequency” soft key in the AC Withstand displays a
Frequency pop up screen that allows for choices between 50Hz,60Hz or Sync.
It is necessary to press the ENTER key to accept the new parameter or press
EXIT to cancel from the edit.
If the “Step Name” parameter is enabled in the System Menu, then each step
will have a “Step Name” soft key in the Parameter Menus. The step name can
be a maximum of 24 characters in length and may use any combination of the
character set plus numbers and symbols. To name the step, use the
alphanumeric keypad. If you make a mistake or want to change the character,
press the backspace key in the alphanumeric keypad. The cursor will
decrement and erase the character. If you wish to use capital letters in the
prompt, press the “Caps Lock” soft key. While pressing the Caps Lock soft key,
the Caps Lock parameter will toggle between ON and OFF. If you wish to use
symbols in the prompt, press the “Symbol Key” soft key. While pressing the
Symbol Key soft key, the symbol values will toggle between !, *, _, - and ~.
When you have finished editing the file name press the ENTER key.
Selecting the test type (ACW, DCW, and IR) automatically loads the default
parameters for that particular type of test. Refer to section 4.4.2. Default Test
Parameters for the preset default parameters.
Scanner and External scanner parameters will only appear in the Parameter
screens if the options are installed.
