The Spectrum Master menu-driven interface is easy to use and requires little training. The
Spectrum Master uses a touch screen and keypad for data input. The five bottom menu keys
and eight submenu keys on the right side are touch screen keys. The menu and submenu keys
will vary depending upon the selected mode of operation, see

Numeric keys 1 through 9 are dual purpose, depending upon the current mode of operation.
