7.2
Operating concept
The main control elements are the rotary knob and five push switches. The current function assignment of these switches
is displayed in the fields at the bottom edge of the display. Direct access to standard functions (e.g. "start" and "stop") is
possible at all times. Optional text entry is possible using an external keyboard. If faults occur (e.g. failure of the rotary
knob or softkeys), the machine can be operated completely using the external keyboard.
