NAMING

It is possible to name things on the DPS24 from the front panel. However, we thoroughly recommend that you
connect a PS2 keyboard as this makes naming MUCH easier and suitable keyboards for the purpose can be bought
very cheaply at any high street store that sells computers.
When you go to name something, you will see this pop-up:
You can use Q1 to set upper case characters A-Z.
You can use Q2 to set lower case characters a-z.
You can use Q3 (or the numeric keypad) to enter numbers 0-9.
You can use Q4 to enter special characters !@£$%&(), etc.
You can use Q6 to move the cursor left/right.
You can use F3 to insert spaces.
You can use F4 to backspace/delete.
Whilst is perfectly feasible to enter names in this way, we are the first to admit that it is nowhere near as conven-
ient as using an external keyboard.

SOFT KEYS

There are a few types of soft keys along the bottom of the LCD:
32
This is typical 'do it' style key.
This is a typical 'go-to-another-page' key.
This is double width 'do it' key.
