About Key Operation
You can use the PC keyboard for menu operations rather than using the instrument
front panel keys or buttons. Use the keyboard to input the file name, directory
name, and text in the Text/Equation editors. The PC keyboard character keys, ten
keys, arrow keys, space key and shift key can be used in place of the front panel
keys, buttons, and some menu operation commands. Table 3-43 lists other edit
operations you can perform from the PC keyboard.
Setting General Purpose Knob Direction
Use the general purpose knob to highlight items in the pop–up menu or file list. The
default setting for the knob rotation is clockwise for down (backwards) and
counterclockwise for up (forward).
Turning the knob clockwise causes the highlight bar to move down.
Turning the knob counterclockwise causes the highlight bar to move up.
You can change the default setting for the general purpose knob by following the
steps below:
1. Push the UTILITY (front–panel)!System (bottom).
2. Select Knob Direction by using the y and b buttons.
3. Select Forward or Backward using the general purpose knob.
The changes take affect immediately.
