Entering Data
You can enter data in dialog boxes using any of the following methods:
●
Using the touchscreen, via the on-screen keyboard
●
Using other elements provided by the front panel, e.g. the keypad, rotary
knob, or navigation keys
The rotary knob acts like the [ENTER] key when it is pressed.
●
Using a connected external keyboard
Transparent dialog boxes
You can change the transparency of the dialog boxes to see the results in
the windows behind the dialog box. Thus, you can see the effects that the
changes you make to the settings have on the results immediately.
To change the transparency, select the transparency icon at the top of the
dialog box. A slider is displayed. To hide the slider, select the transparency
icon again.
(The title bar of the dialog box is always slightly transparent and is not
affected by the slider.)
Particularities in Windows dialog boxes
In some cases, e.g. if you want to install a printer, original Windows dialog
boxes are used. In these dialog boxes, the rotary knob and function keys do
not work. Use the touchscreen instead.

Entering Numeric Parameters
If a field requires numeric input, the keypad provides only numbers.
1. Enter the parameter value using the keypad, or change the currently used
parameter value by using the rotary knob (small steps) or the [UP] or [DOWN]
keys (large steps).
2. After entering the numeric value via keypad, press the corresponding unit key.
The unit is added to the entry.
