Entry of numerals, letters and characters
Numerals, letters, punctuation marks and special characters are entered with
the alphanumeric keypad of the meter or using an external keyboard that can
be connected to the instrument via the USB-A interface.
Character set
The following characters are available:
Numerals 0 ... 9
Letters A ... Z and a ... z
Punctuation marks. -
Special characters ° / + ² ³ # %
Operating principle
Entering characters is always possible if there is an input field on the display.
The numerals and characters (expect for the small letters) assigned to the
keys of the alphanumeric keypad are printed on the keys. Example: With the
<7/PQRS>
key you can enter the following characters: 7, P, Q, R, S, p, q, r, s.
Select the required character by pressing the key several times (similar to a
mobile phone). When pressing a key that is assigned to several characters
once, the respective numeral appears first. To enter a numeral, one key-
pressing is always sufficient.
When pressing the key for the first time a line pops up that displays all char-
acters possible with this key. The currently selected character is highlighted.
A character is taken over in the input field if
the character is highlighted for more than one second,
the character is confirmed with
<START·ENTER>
,
another alphanumeric key is pressed.
Special characters
Special characters are entered with the
<1/*>
key.
Operating example:
Entering the ID
The
Enter ID
input field appears if you press the
<STORE>
key while the
store symbol is visible. In the following example a measurement dataset with
the ID "Test" is stored.
7
PQRS
During mere number entries (such as entering a wavelength), the
keys of the alphanumeric keypad are assigned to the respective
numeral only. Each keypressing directly enters the numeral (like
a pocket calculator).
