Keyboard Entries

After selecting ID or any other object parameter, a keyboard is dis-

played which allows for the entry of alphanumeric characters via

the fixed function keys and the softkeys. Alternatively, entries can

also be made with the help of a USB keyboard or barcode scan-

ner which is connected to the instrument.

The keyboard layout can be matched to the language in SETUP:

SETUP 2/3 > Culture > Keyboard Layout (for alphanumeric entries)

Procedure (example: entering a DUT designation):

1 Switch the keyboard to uppercase, lowercase or special char-

acters with the abc key (Abc, ABC, Symb).

2 Select the desired alphanumeric character or a line break with

the scroll keys (left, right, up and down).

The selection cursor can be accelerated by pressing and

holding the respective scroll key.

3 After pressing the key, the respective character appears

in the display field.

4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the complete designation is

shown in the display field.

5 The designation in the display field can be changed subse-

quently by hiding the bottom keyboard by pressing the

key. The cursor position can then be changed in order to

delete individual characters.

6 After pressing the green checkmark, the selected char-

acter string is saved.
