Enlarging Persistent Data

Data boxes can be enlarged by highlighting the expand (X‑PAND) icon and pressing the enter button.
After the icon is activated, the contextual data area will be filled with the enlarged data from the actively displayed data box. Up
to 6 data boxes can be enlarged, one at a time, and will paginate in the chronological sequence shown in the following
illustration. Data boxes 3 and 4 will only display the optional user selected data.
NOTE: The default setting of trim and tabs will not enlarge unless they are activated with external controls. If they are activated,
a pop‑up process will be utilized. Trim and tabs pop‑ups can be turned off in the Settings menu.
Each data box has its own page indicator in the lower left‑hand corner of the contextual data area. Use the arrow buttons to
navigate to the various page or the auto cycle icon or exit icon. Press the enter button when the auto cycle or exit icon are
highlighted.
