Press the slider bar next to the respective axis again. The current

Alphanumeric keypad
You can give function programs and tools meaningful names. This means
that you can give names to items that have a direct relationship to the task
or tool. These could be company names, drawing numbers or customer
job references. You can use any combination of numbers, alphabetical
characters and some special characters, to a maximum of 12 characters.
When you need to enter an alphanumeric name the DP900 displays the
Data Entry screen showing all the available characters. You navigate
around these characters using the four navigation keys. Pressing
selects the highlighted character. If you enter the wrong character, you
can delete it by pressing the [
ce
] key.
Press

to change the characters from A-Z to a-z.
You can enter numbers directly using the numeric keypad.
Numeric keypad
This appears on the right hand side of the DRO. You use it to enter
numerical values. It also has a +/- key to enter positive and negative
numbers, and a decimal point key to enter decimal values. If you enter an
incorrect digit you can press the [
ce
] to delete each number in turn. If you
press the [
ce
] key when no numbers remain, the DRO stops the number
input operation. Press the [
enter
] key to confirm the number entry.
Navigation keys
The DP900 has four arrow keys that you use to navigate around the
screen. In this manual these are referred to as the navigation keys. These
keys are as follows:
•
The left and right keys move you between the soft key pages when
there are multiple pages.
•
The up and down arrows move you through pages of on-screen
information when there is more information than can be fitted on a
single screen.
•
In graphical run-time modes, you use the up and down keys to select
the level of graphical zoom.
•
When you are in conventional mode and operating a positioning
function such as Sub Datums, you use the up and down keys to move
between the next and previous datum or target points.
•
In the middle of the four arrow keys is a circular key, this acts as an
enter key. It is referred to in the text as the [
arrow-centre
] key.
