Soft Keys

The three soft keys on 2020 are located directly below the status
display. Each key has varying functions for configuring 2020, editing
the datalogger, and controlling the display. Since only three soft keys
are available, each function is broken down into a path. A map,
showing each path and the resulting functions, is shown in Figure 3.

Entering Text With the Soft Keys

For all information that you must enter, the left, center and right soft
keys correspond to the up, down, and right arrow. See Figure 4.
The up and down arrows are used to change the character
highlighted by the cursor. The right arrow is used to advance the
cursor to the next character on the right. When the cursor is
advanced past the right most character, it wraps around to the first
character again. To accept the changes, press the ENTER key. To
ignore the changes, press EXIT.
Figure 4 Soft Arrow Keys
Formatting characters, such as the colon (:) in the time, the decimal
(.) in a concentration, and the slash (/) in date are skipped when
advancing the cursor.
All inputs use an 8 character input, which is displayed on the right
side of the top line of the status display. The prompt, describing the
input, occupies the left half of the top line. The soft keys are defined
on the bottom line of the status display.
