The
front
panel
shows some
of
the
most used page
numbers
for
the
EDIT
SAMPLE,
EDIT
PRESET,
and DISK
functions.
4.
Scan
through
the other
pages by
using
one
or
more
of
the
methods
described above.
Don't
expect
the
LCD
messages
to
make much
sense; they
will
be
explained
later.
We
just
want
to
get
a
feel for
how
the
machine
works.
5.
Select
Page
08.
The
LCD
asks
if
you want
to
FORMAT,
and
explains
that
means
to
"Prepare a
new
disk"
for
use
with the
S900.
It
also
reminds you
to
press
ENT
if
you want
to
have
this
happen. Since you have a blank
disk
in
the drive
which
you
will
eventually
want
to
use
with the
S900,
press
ENT.
6.
The
Disk
Activity
light
goes
on.
Remember,
NEVER
remove
a
disk
when
this
light
is
on!
The
cursor
will
overwrite the
exist-
ing
display with
dots.
When
the
LCD
is filled
with
dots
and
the
Disk
Activity
light
goes
off,
the disk
is
ready
for
use
with the
3900.
Pop
out the
disk,
and you have
a formatted disk ready
for later
experiments.
Now
let's
learn
how
to
select
parameters
within
a page. Press
the
EDIT
PRESET
function button
and
select
Pag©
06. Again,
we
don't
need
to
concern
ourselves
with the
specific
LCD
message
other than
to
know
that
an
asterisk
(*)
indicates
a
parameter
that
may
be
altered.
Two
"gadgets" help
you
locate the
desired parameter:
An
Arrow gadget
point
to
the
name
of
the currently selected
parameter
(this
will
be
the
page
number when
the
page
is first
selected).
A
flashing
cursor
indicates the value
of
the
parameter
pointed
to
by
the Arrow.
If
you
enter a piece
of
data (number,
yes,
no,
letter, etc.),
it
will
be
entered
in
the
space
indicated
by
the
flashing cursor.
Use
the
elongated
ARROW/CURSOR
KEY
to
move
the
arrow
and
cursor.
Press
the
left
side
of
the switch
to
move
the
ar-
row/cursor
left,
and
the
right
side
to
move
the
arrow/cursor
to
the
right.
Try
this
now.
