Entry of numerals, letters and characters
Numerals, letters, punctuation marks and special characters are entered with
the alphanumeric keypad of the meter or using an external keyboard.
Entries are required in operating situations such as the following:
Entering the date and time
Entering an ID e.g. when storing measurement data
Selecting a method with the [Search] function
Programming user-defined methods
Entering user name and password
Administrating users
The following characters are available:
Numerals 0 ... 9
Letters A ... Z and a ... z
Punctuation marks. -
Special characters ° / + ² ³ # %
Entering characters is always possible if there is an input field on the display.
The numerals and characters (expect for the small letters) assigned to the
keys of the alphanumeric keypad are printed on the keys. Example: With the
<7/PQRS> key you can enter the following characters: 7, P, Q, R, S, p, q, r, s.
Select the required character by pressing the key several times (similar to a
mobile phone). When pressing a key that is assigned to several characters
once, the respective numeral appears first. To enter a numeral, one key-
pressing is always sufficient.
When pressing the key for the first time a line pops up that displays all char-
acters possible with this key. The currently selected character is highlighted.
A character is taken over in the input field if
the character is highlighted for more than one second,
the character is confirmed with <START·ENTER>,
another alphanumeric key is pressed.
