The Display Screen
User’s Guide 13
Press the
<Alpha> key to enter alpha mode. A caret (^) appears at the
cursor position in the display screen. The portable remains in alpha
mode until a function key is pressed, or until the
<Alpha> key is pressed
again.
<BKSP>: This is the backspace key. Press it to move the cursor one
place to the left and delete the character there.
<ENTER>: Press this key to enter the current data string and move to
the next programming command.
The Display Screen
The portable’s display screen can show 4 lines of text with up to 16
characters on each line. However, the unit can actually hold up to 24
lines of data with up to 80 characters on a line. Scroll the display to view
data that doesn’t currently appear.
The Virtual Display
The portable’s display screen is like a window to a larger display area,
called the
virtual display (refer to Figure 2-3 on page 14). Data longer
than 16 characters is placed in the virtual display while entering or
reading information. Information automatically carries over (or “wraps”)
to the next line if there are more than 80 characters in a line.
