Input procedure
Numeric fields: Type in the numerals 0 to 9 directly
into the KEYPAD. Input is right-flush. A cursor flashes
under the last digit entered. The C key clears the
numeral highlighted by the cursor. The ZEROING key
aborts the input without saving the new input values.
Existing values are retained. The Enter key saves the
value typed in and returns to the application pro-
gram. The setpoint, whether it is a dot, comma or
no decimal separator, is defined in Setting mode
(Setting mode > Terminal > Display > Decimal sepa-
rator, see p 14). Only the default number of characters
can be typed into an input box. Any other inputs
are neither displayed nor accepted.
Alphanumeric fields: The numeric keys are also as-
signed by multiple programming to alphanumeric
characters (upper case only) and characters. For
example, the 0 (zero) key is also a +, – and blank
character. The SPECIAL CHARACTER key is also avail-
able.
After pressing a numeric key twice within one se-
cond, this activates a rolling function to access a
character assigned to this key. If you do not press
the key a second time within one second, the cha-
racter pressed is accepted and the cursor moves
on to the next position.
Numerical inputs can be made in direct succession
without any waiting period, as long as the same
number key is not pressed several times in successi-
on. A cursor flashes under the last item entered.
Press the F key and the TARE key to move the cursor
to the left or right. The C key clears the last character
on the left of the cursor or the character with the
cursor flashing underneath it.
The ZEROING key aborts the input without saving
the new input values. Existing values are retained.
The ENTER key saves the value typed in and returns
to the application program. Only the default number
of characters can be typed into an input box. Any
further input overwrites the last character.
