System Menus 

 

Introduction  

Before describing each of the different menus in detail, this section shows and explains how to 
choose the menu, how to choose an item within the menu, and how each of several standard menu 

editing operations works. 
First, to enter the menu system, you must press the M

ENU

 key while in one of the search mode 

screens.

 

When you first enter the menu system, you will start with the 

Field Settings

 menu.  Figure 18 shows 

the menu “tabs” that would be present for the 

User

 log-in.  The left-most tab corresponds to 

Field 

Settings

, and so it is shown highlighted in color, while all the other (unselected) tabs are shown in 

gray.  The name of the menu, “Field Settings,” also appears just below the tabs, as shown.  To 
change to another menu when the tab is selected, you may use the R

IGHT

 and L

EFT

 arrow keys.  (In 

this case, the R

IGHT

 arrow key will take you to the 

Spectral Data 

menu, while the L

EFT

 arrow key will 

also wrap around and bring you to the 

Help

 menu.)  If you are somewhere in the middle of a menu, 

and want to quickly return to the tabs, you can press the M

ENU

 key to do so. 

 

 

Figure 18 - Example of Menu Tabs 

 

To select an item from the menu, press the U

P

 or D

OWN

 arrow keys.  Pressing the Down arrow 

when on the tab will take you to the first item on the menu.  As a shortcut, pressing the Up arrow 
when on the tab will take you to the 

last

 menu item. 

To return from the menu system to the search mode, you can use the B

ACK

 key (unless you are 

running a procedure or editing a specific item), or you can select the 

Exit

 item at the bottom of each 

menu. 
We will now elaborate on how to make changes for various different types of menu items.
