Scroll Bar
Another navigational aid is the scroll bar on the right side of
the screen. The position of its scroll box shows you whether the
screen is the top (or only screen), middle, or last in a series.
Some screens also indicate the page order with a notation
such as P1/3 (page 1 of 3).
Alphanumeric Keypad
In some cases, you can use the alphanumeric keypad to enter
numerical test parameters instead of scrolling to them with
the ARROW keys.
You can also use the alphanumeric keys to create and edit
customer coupons and your shop contact information on
printed test results, and manage User IDs.
To add a space, press the RIGHT ARROW key. To erase a space
and insert a character, press the LEFT ARROW key.
Refer to the table below for the characters associated with
each alphanumeric key.
Data Entry Methods
To perform a particular test or function, the GR8 requires
different types of information. This means that the methods
you use to enter information will change depending on the
type of information requested. The six types of entry methods
are described below.
Typically, the soft key below the right half of the screen
confirms your choice, although the command above it may
vary. (Examples: SELECT, NEXT, and SAVE.) In a similar
fashion, the soft key below the left half of the screen cancels
your choice or returns you to the previous screen, although the
word above it may also vary. (Examples: BACK and CLEAR.)
Menu Icons
A menu icon is a graphical
representation of a function
you can select, such as the
DC Amp Meter Test Icon in
the DMM Menu. To select
an icon, use the LEFT or
RIGHT ARROW key to
highlight it. Highlighting changes the icon to a white picture
on a black background. To confirm your selection, press the
appropriate soft key.
Option Buttons
Some lists have option
buttons before each item.
To select an item, use the
UP or DOWN ARROW keys
to move the dot to the
button next to the item.
To confirm your selection,
press the appropriate soft key.
You can also use the alphanumeric keypad to enter the
number preceding the option button of your choice. No
additional keypress is needed to proceed.
Scrolling Lists
Scrolling lists contain items
that extend above and
below the screen. The
first number above the
right soft key indicates
the position in the list of
the highlighted item. The
second number above the right soft key indicates the number
of items in the list.
To select an item, the UP or DOWN ARROW key to highlight the
item, and press the appropriate soft key.
To move the highlight bar up five lines at a time, press the
LEFT (
t

a time, press the RIGHT (
