The keys in the DATA ENTRY keypad are used to enter numbers, units, and charac-
ters. The data entry keys are only enabled while the cursor is placed on a data input
field in a dialog or in the Help navigation pane.
●
The keys 0 to 9 enter the corresponding numbers.
●
The function of the "." and "–" keys depends on the data type of the active input
field:
–
In numeric input fields, the keys enter the decimal point and a negative sign for
the entered numeric value. Multiple entries have not effect.
– In character input fields, the keys enter a dot and a hyphen, respectively. Both
entries can be repeated as often as desired.
●
The function of the four unit keys depends on the data type of the active input field;
see
Chapter 5.5, "Entering Data" , on page 44.
– In numeric input fields, the G/n, M/μ, k/m or x1 keys multiply the entered value
with factors of 10

respectively. x1 is equivalent to ENTER and confirms the previous entry.

the "Close" button).

the "Contents" page of the Help system.

button).

●
BACKSPACE deletes the last character before the cursor position or the selected
character sequence or numeric value.
4.1.4 Rotary Knob
The rotary knob increases and decreases numerical values, scrolls within lists, acti-
vates controls and confirms entries. Turning or pressing the rotary knob is equivalent to
the action of the "Cursor Up" and "Cursor Down" navigation keys or of the ENTER key
in the DATA ENTRY keypad, respectively.
STEP SIZE opens an input box to select the steps (in units of the current physical
parameter) between two consecutive numerical values. The step size is also valid for
value changes using the "Cursor Up" and "Cursor Down" keys. See also
Chapter 5.5.2,
"Using the Numeric Editor" , on page 46.
