3.4.4 Dynamic Parameters
The next menu column, labeled “PARAMETERS”, provides access to the dynamic parameters, i.e. those that may be
changed in real time. The <up/down arrow> keys are used to scroll through the list of dynamic parameters (listed in
). If the Run/Edit mode is selected, the value of the selected dynamic parameter may be changed using the
<Home End PgUp PgDn + - / *> keys. Use the <Home End> keys for coarse adjustments, <Page Up Page Down>
keys for normal adjustments, the <+ -> keys for fine adjustments, and the </ *> keys for very fine adjustments. Number
pad and keyboard give the same results.

Table 3. Dynamic Parameters
Some dynamic parameters may be controlled automatically. In this case, the value is displayed and updated in real time,
and an “A” will appear to the right of the value. Changing the value of a dynamic parameter that is being controlled will
disable the control function.
The dynamic parameters are a subset of the parameters stored in the parameter file and can also be edited through the
parameter change menu (see section 3.5). Table 3 lists the dynamic parameters by the abbreviated name shown in the
real time screen and gives the full parameter name shown in the parameter change menus (see section 3.5). Changes
made to these parameters in the Real Time Screen are saved in the parameter file.
