Basic Operation
5 Basic Operation
This section describes the basic operation and navigation of
the ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu user interface (UI). The following
sections provide details on how to perform specific functions
and tests.
The main unit is turned on by pressing the red power button.
Once on, this button can be momentarily pressed to toggle
the backlight from dim to bright. Holding the power button
down for more than one second turns the unit off.
When in a menu, the arrow keys are used to highlight a
menu choice. The SEL key is then pushed to access the
highlighted choice.
Once in a sub-menu, or at an option screen, the QUIT key is
used to return to the previous menu. The top left section of
the display identifies the current screen.
Pull-down selection menus are available in most views. For
example, in the cable test schedule it is possible to change
the cable type being tested. For pull-down menus the
SELect key is used to select the field and activate the pull
down menu. The arrow keys are then used to highlight a
specific choice. Finally, the ACCPT (accept) key is pressed
to accept the highlighted choice.
When entering alphanumeric text (entering job information
for example), the keypad is used. The keypad functions
much like that of a multi-tap configured cell phone – multiple
presses of the same key toggles through the choices. For
example, repeated presses of the "5" key show the following
choices: 5, j, k, l, J, K, L. The ACCPT or right arrow keys can
be used to move to the next character location.
