User Interface
The HP 16500B has four easy-to-use user interface devices: the knob, the
touchscreen, the optional mouse, and the optional keyboard.
The knob on the front panel is used to move the cursor on certain menus, to
increment or decrement numeric fields, and to roll the display.
The touchscreen fields can be selected by touch or with the optional mouse.
To activate a touchscreen field by touch, simply press the screen over any
dark blue box on the display with your finger until the field changes color.
Then remove your finger from the screen to activate your selection.
To activate a field with the optional mouse, position the cursor (
+)
of the
mouse over the desired field and press the button on the upper-left corner of
the mouse.
The optional keyboard can control
all
instrument functions by using special
function keys, the arrow keys, and the ENTER key. Alpha numeric entry is
simply typed
in.
All user interface devices are discussed in more detail in the HP
