nanodac RECORDER/CONTROLLER: USER GUIDE3.6 TEXT ENTRYThe user is often required to enter text characters or numbers (when editing operator notes, for example).This is done using the pop-up keyboards which are displayed when required. When only numerals are requireda special keyboard is presented which contains only numerals.Figure 3.6 shows the three standard keyboards, along with a ‘scan’ direction for operations of both up arrowand down arrow keys. To change keyboards, use the arrow pushbuttons to highlight the keyboard name(‘Numeric’, ‘Symbols’ or ‘Alpha’), and then operate the scroll button.Generally, to enter text, the required character is highlighted using the up and down arrows and the scrollbutton is used as an ‘Enter’ key. Once text entry is complete, the Page button is used to confirm the edit (usethe down arrow to select ‘Yes’ then operate the scroll button).Pressing and holding the scroll button and then immediately operating the up or down arrow, causes thecharacter insertion point to move to the left (down arrow) or to the right (up arrow).The user can press and hold the scroll key to display variations on certain characters (the letter ‘e’ in the figure).Once displayed, the up and down arrows can again be used to scroll through auxiliary list, allowing capitalletters, and characters with diacriticals (e.g. accents, umlauts, tildes, cedillas) to be selected and enteredusing the scroll button.The backarrow key is used as a back space key - i.e. it deletes the character to the left of the cursor position.The ‘Del’ key deletes the character to the right of the cursor.Note: Leading and trailing space characters are automatically removed from text strings.Press and hold scrollbutton for alternativecharacter set.Ω Γ Ε Θ Π Σ ΤFigure 3.6 Standard Keyboards3.6.1 Numeric keyboardAs mentioned previously, for functions which can take only numerals, a special numeric keyboard appears,as depicted in figure 3.6.1.Figure 3.6.1 Numeric keyboard3.6.2 USB keyboardText and numeric entry can also be carried out using a USB keyboard as described in Section 8.3.HA030554Issue 7 Nov 12Page 55
