the rotary knob changes the display value and updates the source channel output in
real time. However, if the digit pointer is available, the source channel works

Update by Knob field). For the Immediate V/I Update by Knob field, see
Preference dialog box" on page
If the digit pointer is on a digit of a numeric value entry field, turning the knob
changes the value of the digit. Note that changing the value from 9 to 0 or from 0 to
9 changes the value of the next digit.
If the digit pointer is on the decimal point of a numeric value entry field, turning the
knob moves the decimal point if the Immediate V/I Update by Knob setup is OFF.
