5. Operation and Configuration
5.1.4 Explanation of the numeric pad and selection list
– Numeric pad
The numeric pad enables the entering and changing of parameters, e.g. in firing
programs or setting menus. Additionally, the currently set value as well as the
minimum and maximum values are indicated.
An entry must be confirmed with the green button. As soon as the entry has
been confirmed, the numeric pad is closed. If the button appears pale green,
the value is not in the acceptable range.
The numeric pad can be closed with the red button, without any parameters
being changed.
– Selection list
In the selection list, the desired parameter can be selected by using the up / down
arrows. An entry must be confirmed with the green button. After that, the
selection list is closed.
The selection list can be closed with the red button, without any parameters
being changed.
