The Number Pad Editor - Symmetricom 5120A Operation And Maintenance Manual

3.4.1.1 The Number Pad Editor

The number pad editor is a small window that resembles the number pad on a keyboard. The
window's title indicates the parameter being edited (the first octet of an IP address in the figure
below).
When the number pad editor is invoked, the softkey interface changes as shown on the
right side of the figure.
If a parameter already has a value when the editor is invoked, the number pad editor is
initialized with this value. Use the Clear button to erase the value entirely.
The <- button (the backspace button) erases the last digit.
The EXP button is used to enter numbers in scientific format.
The +/- button toggles the sign of the mantissa when it is pushed before the EXP button
and toggles the sign of the exponent when pushed after the EXP button.
Number pad buttons can be clicked with the mouse.
With a keyboard you can directly enter a value.
Note the white rectangle on
the button. It indicates
"focus". The arrow softkeys
move the focus in the
direction they indicate,
wrapping to the first button
on the axis on which they
move focus.
Backspace erases the last digit.
Clear erases entire value.
