first value indicated is the presently selected choice.

is made in record, starting from 00 up to a maximum value of 99.
In the DATE position, the date in the DD.MM.YY.xx format must be used. The date will be automatically
updated at midnight (except when running 29.97 non-drop or 30 drop frame).
In the Date AutoInc. Mode Inc = Increment), the last two digits will be increased by "1" each time a new index
is made in record, starting from 00 up to a maximum value of 99.
