How to Operate the R4 Display

Views and Function Keys

The user interface is built upon a number of 

views

, organized in four different 

modes

. The 

different views are reached with the 

function keys

 below the screen and the 

ESC

 and 

PAGE

 keys on the right side of the front panel. The mode is changed by pressing the 

MODE 

key followed by the function key corresponding to the desired mode.

Use the function keys to step into a specific view and 

ESC

 to get back one level. 

PAGE

 

provides access to additional pages of function keys in some views. An example view is 
shown below. In the following sections of the manual the views of the R4 Navigation Sys-
tem are described.

The function keys are view-specific and the function of each key is specified with a label 
on the screen. Note that unlabelled keys are not active in that specific view. Also, in some 
views the function keys might serve as switches, e.g. toggling a parameter.

The status bar of the system is present in all views at the top of the screen, and further 
described in section “Status Bar” on page 16.

for entering special characters. To delete a character, press function key 

Backspace

. To change between upper and lower case letters, press function 

key
