Front Panel Keys, Numeric Entry

Some front panel keys have a third function, indicated by [brackets], which are used during numeric entry setup.

PRINT	[NEXT] Increments selected (flashing) digit by one.
INCR/ABS	[SET DIGIT] Accepts current digit in flashing display. Moves pointer to next digit to right and begins flashing
REF	[DECIMAL POINT] Enters decimal point behind current (flashing) digit. If a decimal existed in another location it is removed.
DISPLAY OFF	[ABORT] Stops entry of parameter, ends program mode, discards all previous entries and changes, turns display off. When the unit is turned ON again, unit will be in operating mode with the "old " settings in effect.
DISPLAY ON	[SAVE/EXIT] Save all changes made and exit the programming mode. Return to normal operation with new settings in effect.
ZERO	[ENTER] Accepts the current parameter as a new value; ends numeric entry routine. Program continues at the next step.
INCH/MM DEG/DMS	[CLEAR] [CHANGE UNITS] A single key press of the active key clears the display and switchs to the opposite units. If there are no units either key will clear the display.
