CHAPTER THREE
3-8 bc632D Wall Mount LED Display (Rev A) Datum Inc
When the display is running, the SHIFT-n keys also select the step. If the step is part of a sequence,
then the sequence will begin with the step that you selected.
If the display changes from one step to another, and the time changes between the two steps, the
display will have to acquire the new time source. If the time source is not present, then the display may
stay in this state, looking for the time source. If the time source is present, the display may take several
seconds to acquire it. For this reason, it is not recommended that you change time sources within a
sequence, unless you can tolerate lapses in the time display while the bc632D acquires the time source.
3.3.3 EDITING
When entering a label or setting the clock time, one character will flash. The flashing character is the
cursor. The cursor shows you where the next character will appear.
The four keys on the bottom row of the keyboard are used during editing. The BACK and ADV keys
are used to move the cursor right or left so that you can edit different parts of the message. The
INSERT key is used to switch between the overtype mode of editing and the insert mode. Normally, if
you type a character it replaces the next character in the string. When you press the INSERT key, new
characters are inserted between existing characters. Pressing INSERT again returns you to overtyping.
When the insert mode is active, the prompt at the left end of the display changes to the word
"INSERT." When you press the DELETE key, the character under the cursor is removed and any
following characters are shifted one position to the left.
