3.2 CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
NUMERIC ENTRY
There are two types of numeric field which can be identified - those
which display one of a fixed number of choices which are scrolled
through using the up/down arrow keys (e.g. chart speed), and those
which have to be entered character by character. Scrollable fields can
be recognised because all the displayed characters flash together,
whereas character-by-character items flash only the currently editable
character.
For the latter type, numbers greater than 9.999 (e.g. alarm thresholds)
are entered as described in the following example, which shows how to
enter a value of '123.4'. Because this document cannot easily show a
flashing character the currently editable character is shown underlined.
Notes:
1.
The flashing 'H' character indicates that the – sign is the editable
character, and this – sign can be toggled on and off using the up/
down arrow keys.
2.
The units character is entered first (after the +/- sign), then the deci-
mal point position.
3.
To move the decimal point to the 10s or 100s position, the cursor
key is operated
a)
when the editable character is the least significant (right-most)
digit (LSD), AND
b) this LSD is 0.
Operating the cursor with anything other than zero as the LSD fails
to shift the decimal point position.
4.
Unless the display format is already 0.000, setting the most signifi-
cant character to zero, then operating the cursor key, moves the
decimal point position left. For example, if you were to reset the
value from 123.4 to 23.4, the display would change from 023.4 to
23.40 when the cursor key was operated.
