Entering Numeric and Alphanumeric Values
At the lowest level of the menu hierarchy, you may need to enter a numeric value (which
could represent a tolerance), or an Ethernet IP address or an alphanumeric value (such as
those used for entering a user ID or a security password).
When a parameter value is selected, either the current value is displayed or a 0 (zero) is
displayed. In either case, a flashing underscore is generated under the least significant
digital or character.
The LEFT and RIGHT buttons move the cursor left and right within the numeric value
or character set. In the following three number examples the cursor starts under the 300
value, the LEFT button moves the cursor under the 2000 value in example 2, and in
example 3 the RIGHT button moves the cursor under the 40 value.
Example 1: 12345.01
Example 2: 12345.01
Example 3: 12345.01
The UP and DOWN arrows are used to change the displayed digit.
0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 9 → . → → 0
The UP button increments from 0 through 9, then the decimal point, space, and back to 0,
while the DOWN button decrements from 9 through 0, then the space, decimal point and
back to 9.
Example 4: 12345.01
Example 5: 02345.01
Example 6: 2345.01
In example 4, the LEFT button is used to select the 10000 value, in example 5 the DOWN
button is used to decrement the value to 0. In example 6, then the value is removed to
change the original value from 12345.10 to the new value of 2345.01
Once the correct value has been entered, the ENTER button is pressed to accept the value
and the left button will return the user to the next higher level in the menu hierarchy.
When a menu item, such as user ID or password enables the use of alphanumeric characters,
the process is similar to entering a numeric value with additional characters available when
you use the UP/DOWN buttons as shown below.
0 → 1 → ……. → 9 → a → b → ……. → z → 0
In this example a 4 character security code is entered, and in place of the value being
display, four entry boxes are displayed as in example 7.
