Description
Pressing Cancel voids any un-entered
changes and closes the group of data entry
pop-up windows. Pressing Cancel does not
“undo” a changed value that was set using
the Rotary Knob or Slide Bar.
Pressing Clear resets a numeric value to 0”.
Pressing Backspace deletes the last digit in
the numeric value.
Pressing Next Value Selection replaces the
Numeric Keypad with the Rotary Knob. Press
the Next Value Selection again and the
Rotary Knob is replaced with the Slew Data
Bar. Press again and the Numeric Keypad
appears.
