Editing the
Current
Value
To change the current value of a parameter by edit-
ing, you can use either the cursor control key or the
rotary data knob.
Using the Cursor Control Key
Using the < and > pads of the cursor control key,
move the cursor under the digit where you want to
begin editing. Then increase or decrease the value
of the parameter using the
∧
or
∨
pad of the cursor
control key. The unit size of the increase or decrease
that occurs each time the
∧
or
∨
pad is pressed is de-
termined by the cursor position.
Using the Rotary Data Knob
You can also increase or decrease the value of the pa-
rameter using the rotary data knob. Once you have
positioned the cursor under the digit where you
want to begin editing, slowly turn the knob clock-
wise or counter-clockwise to increase or decrease
the value of the parameter by the unit size. Turning
the knob rapidly changes the value of the parame-
ter in larger steps.
Using a Set Increment
When editing frequency, power level, and time pa-
rameters, you can increase or decrease the parame-
ter’s value by a set amount each time the
∧
or
∨
pad
is pressed or the rotary data knob is turned clock-
wise or counter-clockwise. For instructions on set-
ting the increment size, refer to the System
Configuration section of this chapter.
Now, try changing the current value of the CW fre-
quency displayed on your synthesizer from 2.0 GHz
to 6.395 GHz. Use both the cursor control key’s
∧
and
∨
pads and the rotary data knob to make the
value changes. When you are finished, your menu
display should look like the example below.
