There are two different ways of displaying sub-menu
items:
• one is that the name of the parameter to be
adjusted, and the current value of the parameter are
displayed together.
• the other way is to that the name of the parameter is
displayed for one second, and the display then
changes to the current value of the parameter (this
is when the parameter name and/or the value are

4.3.3 Adjusting parameter values

AUTO MON
In menu mode, the
keys perform the function of up and down keys (
and ) and they are used to change the values of
parameters in the sub-menu items.
As soon as the value of the parameter is changed on
the display, the parameter itself is changed (i.e. there
is no need to confirm changes with an ENTER key or
the equivalent).
If one of these keys is pressed and held down for half
a second, the key changes to a "repeat" mode. If the
key is held down for one second, the repeat mode
changes to a "fast repeat" mode, and the value of the
parameter changes faster.
