Navigation Block - Agilent Technologies ENA Series User Manual

7. NAVIGATION Block

The keys and knob in the NAVIGATION block are used to navigate between softkey
menus, tables (limit table, segment table, etc.), or selected (highlighted) areas in a dialog
box as well as to change a numeric value in the data entry area by stepping up or down.
When selecting one of two or more objects (softkey menus, data entry areas, etc.) to
manipulate with the NAVIGATION block keys displayed on the screen, first press the
key in the "8. ENTRY Block" on page 36 to select the object to be manipulated
(placing focus on the object) and then manipulate the NAVIGATION block keys (knob) to
move among selected (highlighted) objects or change numeric values.
