Enter Numeric and Alphanumeric Values
When the focus is on a text box, its label is highlighted within a dashed outline and its present value is displayed in
white text on a dark background. Pressing any key on the numeric keypad erases the existing value and allows you to
type the rest of the number. Use the
[

]
and
[
t
]
keys to move the cursor. Press the
[-]
key to erase the character to
the left of the cursor.
To enter letters or other non-numeric characters, such as when entering a DNS host name in
[Menu] > System > IO > LAN > Modify > Name
, use the up and down arrows to scroll through the list of characters.
When finished, press either
[Enter]
or
[Select]
to enter the data.
In general, pressing
[Enter]
or
[Select]
after entering a value into a text box causes the new value to become
effective immediately. The exceptions to this rule are when you change the values in
[Menu]
> Output > Voltage > AC
,
[Menu] > Output > Voltage > DC
, and
[Menu] > Output > Frequency
. These require you
to select the
DONE
button and press
[Enter]
