3-12 The Operator Interface

Remember to take advantage of the automatic key repeat feature by holding down ei-
ther the (UP) or the (DOWN) key.
The system will never allow making any value invalid. The choice for each digit is
li
mited to valid values. For example, valid values for SCSI ID’s range from 00 to 15.
The range of some valid values may change with a system's particular configuration.
In this example, if the X1 digit was selected, then the value can be incremented all
the way from 00 to 15 and rolling over to 00 again by simply holding down the (UP)
key. Holding the (DOWN) key will decrement the value to 00 and stop there.
3.5.4.4 Editing Alphanumeric Values
Either the (UP) or the (DOWN) keys can be used to edit alphanumeric characters
one at a time. There are no carries or borrows to other characters. The choice for each
particular character will be limited to valid characters, which vary with the item and
the character’s position within it.
The following table shows the available alphanumeric characters (A/N) and their
hexadecimal (hex) equivalents. The characters occur in the order shown in the table,
starting
with the “space” character, followed by the “A” character and ending with the
“ ` ” character. The hex equivalents are those values sent over the SCSI interface in
response to SCSI commands.

3.5.4.5 Editing Cartridge Location Values (Designators)
There are two ways to edit cartridge location values with either the (UP) or the
(DOWN) key. First, like an alpha/numeric value, a cartridge location value can be
edited one character at a time. Alternately, the entire cartridge location value can be
incremented or decremented, through a range of locations, by editing the least signifi-
cant digit (or intermediate digits), in a manner similar to editing a numeric value. Re-
fer to Section 3.5.4.3 for details about editing numeric values.
