Changing or calculating parameters
If you only want to change individual characters in an input field rather than overwriting the
entire entry, switch to insertion mode. In this mode, the pocket calculator is also active. You
can use it during programming to calculate parameter values.
Accepting parameters
When you have correctly entered all necessary parameters, you can close the window and
save your settings.
You cannot accept the parameters if they are incomplete or obviously erroneous. In this
case, you can see from the dialog line which parameters are missing or were entered
incorrectly.
