EXP-1080 JLR Chapter 2: Description
Data Entry Methods
To perform a particular test or function, the tester will ask for
diff erent types of information. This means that the methods
you use to enter information will change depending on
the type of information requested. The four types of entry
methods are described below.
Typically, the softkey below the right half of the screen
confi rms your choice, although the word above it may vary.
In a similar fashion, the softkey 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.
Menu icons
A menu icon is a graphical representation of a function
you can select. 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 confi rm your
selection, press the appropriate softkey.
Option Buttons
Some lists have option buttons before each item. To select
an item, use the
UP/DOWN ARROW
keys to move the dot
into the button next to the item you want. You can also use
the alphanumeric keypad to enter the number preceding
the option button. To confi rm your selection, press the
appropriate softkey.
Scrolling Lists
Scrolling lists contain items that extend above and below
the screen or the selection box that contains them. To
indicate that there are more items, the symbols appear
to the right of the fi rst visible or highlighted item on the list.
To select from this type of list, use the
UP/DOWN ARROW
keys to scroll to the item, or use the keypad to enter your
choice, and press the appropriate softkey.
Alphanumeric Entries
Some selections require you to use the alphanumeric
keypad. These “user-defi ned” selections have a blinking
horizontal line (cursor) to the right of the last character.
Use the
UP/DOWN ARROW
keys to highlight a line for
editing. Display the character, symbol, or number you want
by rapidly pressing its key as many times as needed. If you
pause, the cursor moves to the right. To backspace, press the
LEFT ARROW
key. Use the
RIGHT ARROW
key to add a
space. Use the
UP/DOWN ARROW
keys to highlight a line
for editing. When fi nished, press the appropriate softkey to
save your settings.
