OPERATION
Basic Operation
Cursor Keys
A cursor appears and blinks on the entry line of a run condition display by pressing a cursor key as
shown in Figure 4-2.
The entry line state varies depending on the presence of cursor as shown below.
1. Fixed-entry state: No cursor appears in normal state.
2. Ready-to-enter state: By pressing any of the four cursor keys in fixed-entry state, a cursor appears
blinking "0" (or other numeric value) on the entry line. Desired numeric values can be entered in
this state. Press the cursor keys to move the cursor.
To set desired run conditions, put the RUN SCREEN in the ready-to-enter state. Move the cursor to
the desired item and enter a numeric value. If no numeric value is entered in ready-to-enter state for 30
seconds or more, the display automatically turns to fixedentry state.
Note To enter desired value when the entry line is fixed-entry state (e.g., the state of RUN
SCREEN after turning on the POWER switch), press any of the four cursor keys to show a
blinking cursor and move the cursor to the desired item with cursor keys. The cursor keys have two
functions. One is to show a cursor on the screen and the other is to move the cursor. The cursor on
the screen can be moved up, down, left and right according to the arrow marks on the cursor keys.
Accepts no entry of numeric values
