DATA ENTRY Section
This unit allows you to enter measurement conditions and various other parameters
through the DATA ENTRY section. Three different entry methods can be used in the
DATA ENTRY section, the rotary knob, the arrow keys, and the numeric keypad.
Rotary knob
When you press a soft key which has a parameter, the current setting is displayed in
the parameter entry window. Turning the rotary knob raises or lowers the numeric value
shown in the parameter entry window (turn clockwise to increase and counterclockwise
to decrease), and the internal setting changes at the same time.
Note that if the COARSE key is on (lamp on), the numeric value increase/decrease step
will be larger.
Arrow keys (▲, ▼)
Pressing the ▲ key has the same effect as turning the rotary knob clockwise. Likewise,
pressing the ▼ key has the same effect as turning the rotary knob counterclockwise.
Holding an arrow key down for 0.5 second or longer activates auto-repeat.
If the multi-marker function has been selected, the arrow keys can be used to scroll the
marker value display in the data area.
COARSE Key
You can raise the digit of settings being entered or the increase/decrease step for
numerical values.
Each time you press this key the setting toggles between ON and OFF. When ON, the
lamp lights.
Numeric keypad
You can enter numerical values directly into the parameter input window by pressing
keys of the numeric keypad.
After you have pressed a parameter soft key to display the current setting in the
parameter display area, you can press a numeric keypad key to display the numeric
keypad input area including the entered numeric value.
If the value entered with the numeric keypad is not in the allowed value range, the
nearest allowed value will be set.
μm/ENTER Key and
nm/ENTER Key
Enters values input using the numeric keypad or the parameter input window.
Use one or the other key if entering a parameter value with a particular unit.
If a parameter does not have a unit associated with it, you can use either the μm/ENTER
key or the nm/ENTER key.
BACK SPACE Key
Use this key if you make an error when inputting values with the numeric keypad. The
last entered (right-most) character is removed, allowing entry of the correct character.
By holding the BACK SPACE key down, you can erase the entire entry in the numeric
keypad input area and make the numeric keypad input area disappear, returning it to the
condition preceding numeric keypad input.
