Using USER Keys

Using USER Keys
To Assign Local USER Keys
User keys instantly access instrument settings without using the knob. You can
use USER keys to move quickly between fields on the same screen, and to access
field settings that are not normally available on the screen you are using.
Local USER keys are used to move between settings on the screen that is
displayed. When the USER key is pressed, the cursor instantly moves to, and
selects, the assigned field; eliminating the need to turn and push the knob. Five
local USER keys are available for each screen: K1, K2, K3, K4, and K5.
Global USER keys are used to access settings that are not available on the current
screen. Three global USER keys are available: K1', K2', and K3'. (These are
shifted functions of the local USER keys.)
When defining USER keys, the ASSIGN function is used to create key definitions;
the RELEASE function removes the definitions. Re-assigning a USER key to a
different field setting automatically Releases it from the setting it was previously
associated with.
1. Move the cursor to the field you want to assign a local USER key to.
2. Press and release the SHIFT key, then the K4 key to select the ASSIGN function. Press
a local USER key (K1-K5). The USER key number appears in front of the field you
assigned it to.
Example of Assigning a Local USER Key
Use this example to assign local USER key K1 to the
TEST screen.
1. Access the RX TEST screen and position the cursor in front of the Filter 1 field.
2. Press and release the SHIFT key, then the K4 key to select the ASSIGN function.
3. Press K1. A small 1 appears next to the field indicating that USER key K1 has been
assigned to it.
4. Move the cursor to any other field on the screen and press K1. The cursor immediately
returns to the Filter 1 field. The field is also highlighted to change the entry using
the CURSOR CONTROL knob or arrow keys.
