ENVI-MAG Manual

Keypad description

The keypad has 19 keys. Two of the most used keys are duplicated on the right
and left sides of the console for easy access. Some keys have up to three separate
functions assigned to them. The response of these multi-function keys depends
upon the operation in progress.

Note:

The function mode of the keys has precedence over the alpha-numeric
mode of the keys
