Data Entry Methods
To perform a particular test or function, the EXP requires
different types of information. This means that the methods
you use to enter information will change depending on the
type of information requested. The five types of entry methods
are described below.
Typically, the soft key below the right half of the screen
confirms your choice, although the command above it may
vary. (Examples:
SELECT
,
NEXT
, and
SAVE
.) In a similar
fashion, the soft key below the left half of the screen cancels
your choice or returns you to the previous screen, although
the word above it may also vary. (Examples:
BACK
and
END
.)

highlight it. Highlighting changes the icon to a white picture
on a black background. To confirm your selection, press the
appropriate soft key.
