Each item on a menu screen can be selected and changed by pressing the number or letter adjacent to the description. Some of the 
values are numeric while others will toggle between the available options. Note that any changes made here are stored immediately 
in permanent memory and will remain valid after the power is removed. 
The columns on the live data screens show the distances (first and last signals) and alarm status. The live data screen associated 
with the servo setup also includes the aiming angle of each reading in the first column. 
Pressing the <~> key switches back into machine-to-machine mode.
