The Keys Above the Display
The Contrast key together with the
when setting the contrast of the display (see chapter Display on
page 8).
The Help key displays case sensitive help.
The On/Off key switches MC5-IS on and off. Press the On/Off key
for about half-a-second to switch on/off. This delayed function pre-
vents accidental on/off switching of MC5-IS.
Pressing the +/- key toggles the sign of the entered numeric value.
Note. The +/- key is applicable only in numeric fields.
The Decimal key adds the decimal point to the numeric value that
is currently edited.
The Function Keys
The Function Keys are located below the display. The meaning of
each Function Key varies depending on the situation. The lower
part of the display indicates what the Function Key stands for at the
moment.
The Numeric Keys
The Numeric keys are not only used when entering numbers:
•
Keys 1 to 7 are used as menu selector keys.
•
Keys 0 and 8 are used to scroll through several pages of menu
options. They may also be used when browsing through op-
tions in a pop-up list.
•
Key 9 can be used when accepting a selection or when finish-
ing a data entry. The functionality of the 9 key is almost similar
to the Enter key, except for one situation: When entering num-
bers, the 9 key produces the number 9. To finish entering a
number, you will have to use the Enter key or use the
Function Key when available.
MC5-IS has a dynamic memory allocation system. This means that
there is not a specific area of memory reserved for, e.g. instrument
data. All free memory may be used for anything that requires more
memory. Thus there is no exact limit for the number of instruments
that MC5-IS can maintain in its memory. It all depends on how much
memory is allocated by other data.
