Down arrow

In a screen or a list, moves to the next 
element.

For some parameters, decreases the value of a 
numerical entry.

Left arrow

Selects the previous available value for the 
selected parameter.

In text edit mode, moves the cursor one 
character position to the left.

Right arrow

Selects the next available value for the 
selected parameter.

In text edit mode, moves the cursor one 
character position to the right.

Velocity calibration — Switches to the 
semiautomatic material velocity calibration mode.

Velocity — Opens a screen allowing you to view 
and manually change the sound velocity.

Zero calibration

Compensates for transducer zero, or enables 
the step block zero calibration.

With the traditional text edit mode only, 
inserts a character at the cursor position.

Do-ZERO — Compensates for transducer delay 
for dual element transducers.

Setup menu — Provides access to instrument 
parameters (measurement, system, display, alarm, 
differential mode, and communication menu).
