General Handling of the Menus

 

The 

Digipots

 below the graphical display can be used to dial in parameter 

values for settings displayed on the Touch Screen. The Digipots become 

active for the part of the menu that is currently highlighted. The parame-

ters can be adjusted by turning the Digipots. Pressing a Digipot sets the 

parameter value to default.

Using the Touch Screen and the Digipots allows easy operation. On some 

menus, you can scroll a list located on the screen with the Digipots.

7.1.2 Virtual Numeric Keypad and Keyboard

Alternatively, you can use the Virtual Numeric Keypad

 

to type in para-

meter values.

Figure 37.  Virtual Numeric Keypad

To open the Virtual Numeric Keypad, select the area containing the para-

meter to be modified, then press the display area directly above the corre-

sponding Digipot. Type in the new parameter value and press 

Ok

.

In a similar fashion, you can use a Virtual Keyboard to edit the name of a 

stored file or to rename an E-MEM.
