The decimal keypad can be used at any time in lieu of the shuttle knob to change output
parameters. Direct data entry is often faster to effect large changes in values than using the
shuttle knob. Note that pressing the ENTER key while in SET mode of operation will cause the
AC source to revert back to IMMEDIATE mode. Thus, to change all parameters in SET mode,
enter a value for each field and then proceed to the next field without pressing the ENTER key.

4.1.7 LCD Display
The LCD display of the i and iX Series AC power source provides information on instrument
settings and also guides the user through the various menus. To ease reading of the displayed
information, most screens are widely spaced. A sample of the main menu 1 screen that appears
when the i Series AC source is powered up is shown in Figure 4-6. Due to the amount of space
available on each screen, some menus have been split into parts. The MORE selection located
at the bottom right hand side provides access to menu choices at the same level that did not fit
on a single screen. Thus, to access MENU 2, the cursor should be placed on the „MORE‟
selection followed by pressing the „ENTER‟ key. Alternatively, the MENU key may be pressed to
move to the MENU 2 screen.
The present cursor position is always shown with a inverse bar. The cursor is located on the
„MORE‟ selection in Figure 4-6. Pressing ENTER would cause MENU 2 to be displayed.

The DOWN key moves the cursor position downwards one
position to the next available cursor position. If the present
cursor position is at the bottom of the left hand column, the
cursor is moved to the top position of the right hand column. If
the present cursor is at the bottom of the right hand column, the
cursor is moved to the top of the left hand column. Figure 4-5
depicts the cursor movement through a two column menu.

The numeric keys provide all decimal number for entry of
parameters.
The decimal point key is used to enter fractional parts of values
for fields that have a resolution less than 1. The amount of
resolution for each menu field is normally visible on the LCD. If
more digits are entered after the decimal point than can be
accepted by a field, the value is automatically rounded to the
available resolution when the ENTER key is pressed.
The BACKSPACE ( ) key can be used to erase one digit at a
time if you make a data entry error.
