3.7.2 Edit Resistors

Press the

Edit Resistors

button to create, edit or delete a reference resistor in the

database. You will be prompted to enter the password in order to proceed.

Resistor box:

Use the up/down buttons to select the reference resistor you wish

to edit or delete. Alternatively press the

New

key to create a new reference

resistor entry. The internal reference resistors are included in the list but cannot

be edited or deleted.

Resistor Name box:

This box contains the name of the selected reference

resistor. If you are creating a new reference resistor entry, the ellipses button by

the box becomes active. Press this button to open an Alpha-Numeric Keyboard

window and enter a name. The

Shift

key toggles the alpha keys between upper

and lower case.

Manufacturer’s Name box:

This box contains the manufacturer of the selected

reference resistor. If you are creating a new reference resistor entry, the ellipses

button by the box becomes active. Press this button to open an Alpha-Numeric

Keyboard window and enter a name. The

Shift

key toggles the alpha keys

between upper and lower case.

Serial Number box:

This box contains the serial number of the selected

reference resistor. If you are creating a new reference resistor entry, the ellipses

button by the box becomes active. Press this button to open an Alpha-Numeric
