Stage Keys
These include the 4 arrow keys and the NXT (next) key in the center.
The arrows indicate the direction in which the stage, (not the stylus),

Allows the user to set the scan length/sample density. The
highlighted values change as either the ^ or “down arrow” key is

CUR
This key and its associated <- and -> keys allow the operator to set scan
direction and place the measurement cursors.
LEVEL
Used to level the baseline of a profile.
TABLE
The ^ and “down arrow” keys will move the sample chuck up and down
respectively.
Guess.
FEED
