3.2.2 TARGET VALUE ENTRY
Pt target value :
A Pt or airspeed target value can be entered using the Pt/AIRSPEED
key. On pressing this key the target value field for Pt gets put into reverse video. The 6600 is
now awaiting numeric entry from the operator. While this new value is being entered, the old
target value is still effective and does not in any way affect the Pt output. After the
Pt/AIRSPEED key is pressed, the 2-output format will appear as shown below.
The Pt target value can also be entered in the 3-output format.

Note: The last effective Pt target value is retained through a power On/Off cycle.
Numeric value entry:
Use the numeric keys to enter the value. Use the +/- key, after entering the value, to change
the sign of the value. The 6600 will beep on every key entry, and it will beep for a longer time
period if extra invalid digits are entered. It is not necessary to enter the decimal point and the
digit after the decimal point if that digit is “0”. That is, if you want to enter the number
“200.0” you may enter just “200” and leave out the “.” And the “0”. After entering “200” the
display will appear as shown below.

If a mistake is made during entry, it can only be corrected by using the
CLR
key to clear the
entry and re-entering the value. When the desired value is input into the value entry field,
press ENTER and the value will blink. The trailing decimal and ‘0’ will automatically get
added. In the sample screen below the “200.0” is shown shadowed to indicate “blinking”.
