inserted at the cursor position when editing an alphanumeric parameter.
F Unit keys (GHz/-dBm, MHz/dBm, kHz/dB and Hz/dB)
F Provides the numeric value entered with the selected unit and sets the parameter
to that value.
The unit keys are all assigned the value “1” for dimensionless quantities or for level
entries (e.g. in dB). The unit keys thus assume the function of an ENTER key.
F BACK key
Deletes the character to the left of the cursor with alphanumeric entry.
F ESC/CANCEL key
Aborts the entry of a new parameter value. The previous value is restored.
F Closes pop-up dialogs.
F ENTER key

Finishes the editing of a parameter value. The new value is set.
For an alphanumeric value, the new value is set to that displayed (using the
current unit if applicable).
F In a drop-down menu, the parameter is set to the currently selected value in the
list.
1.6.6.2 Rollkey
The rollkey has various functions:
In a settings view, the rollkey can be used to navigate between individual parameters
(the parameter selected being highlighted).
In drop-down menus, the rollkey can be used to navigate between the individual values
for the parameter.
During numeric entry, the parameter is incremented (by turning clockwise) or
decremented (by turning counter-clockwise) at a defined step size (depending on
the parameter).
In setting views and data entry dialogs pressing the rollkey invokes the input of
parameters or immediately sets the new value, i.e. pressing the rollkey is like
pressing the ENTER key.
In drop-down menus, pressing the rollkey selects the relevant item.
