The keys in the data entry keypad are used to enter alphanumeric data and units.
Data entry keys are only enabled while the cursor is placed on a data input field in a dialog. Their function depends on the data type of the input field.
Keys | Description |
---|---|
0...9/abc | Enters the corresponding numbers (in numeric input fields) or characters (character input fields). |
. | Inserts a decimal point (numeric input fields) or dot (character input fields) at the cursor position. Multiple decimal points are not allowed. |
Unit keys | Selects a unit and thus determine the absolute value, or changes the unit, i.e. trigger a recalculation without changing the absolute value. The function depends on the time at which the UNIT key is used during parameter entry (see "Working with Units "). For unit-free values, the X1 key is equivalent to ENTER. It confirms the previous entry and deactivates the input field. |
_ | Adds a blank in a character input field. |
*... # | Enters special characters. Toggles through the available characters if the key is pressed several times in a row. |
A <-> a | Toggles between uppercase and lowercase characters. |
A, B, C, D, E, F | Enters hexadecimal values. The letters assigned to the keys are automatically active when an entry field with a hexadecimal value is active. |
Pressing the rotary knob has the same effect.
