Table 4-3: Keys on the keypad
Type of key Description
Alphanumeric keys Enter numbers and (special) characters in edit dialog boxes.
Decimal point Inserts a decimal point "." at the cursor position.
Sign key Changes the sign of a numeric parameter. For an alphanumeric
parameter, inserts a "-" at the cursor position.
Unit keys
(G/n dB
μ
V, M/
μ μ
V, k/m mV
and x1 dB(m))
These keys add the selected unit to the entered numeric value
and complete the entry.
For level entries (e.g. in dB) or dimensionless values, all units
have the value "1" as multiplying factor. Thus, they have the
same function as an [Enter] key.
[INSERT] key Toggles between insert and overwrite mode
[Esc] key Closes all kinds of dialog boxes, if the edit mode is not active.
Quits the edit mode, if the edit mode is active. In dialog boxes
that contain a "Cancel" button it activates that button.
For "Edit" dialog boxes the following mechanism is used:
●
If data entry has been started, it retains the original value
and closes the dialog box.
●
If data entry has not been started or has been completed, it
closes the dialog box.
[Backspace] key If an alphanumeric entry has already been started, this key dele-
tes the character to the left of the cursor.
[Enter] key
Has the same effect as pressing the rotary knob

is accepted.

default unit key.
