Entry of Alphanumeric Values
Alphanumeric fields can contain both
numeric and alphanumeric entries.
Examples of alphanumeric fields are:
PtID, Code, Attribute.
Alphanumeric entries can be made
in two ways as for numeric values:
Make a new entry or edit an existing
entry (for a description see Numeric
Values).
To make it possible to enter
alphanumeric characters (letters,
special characters), the key
must be used to switch to the α data
entry mode. The icon appears in
the display. In a data entry mode,
each key is used to enter 3 letters
and one digit.
For example, the key is used to
enter the letters S, T and U.
Press once to enter S, twice for
T, three times for U and four times for
1. If the required letter is missed,
simply keep pressing the key, S
appears again after 1, then T, and so
on. (see section "Character Set").
