Keyboard Shortcuts
This section explains how to use the optional keyboard interface
(HP E2427B Keyboard Kit). You can use the keyboard
interchangeably with the knob and front-panel keypad for all menu
applications. The keyboard functions fall into the two basic categories
of cursor movement and data entry.
Moving the cursor
The keyboard cursor is the location on the screen highlighted in inverse
video. Move the cursor using one of the methods described below.
Keyboard cursor movement
There are four cursor keys marked with arrows on the keyboard. These keys
act as follows:
•
Up-pointing arrow moves the cursor up.
•
Down-pointing arrow moves the cursor down.
•
Right-pointing arrow moves the cursor to the right.
•
Left-pointing arrow moves the cursor to the left.
The cursor keys do not wrap. This means that pressing the right-pointing
arrow when the cursor is already at the rightmost point in a menu will have
no effect. The cursor keys do repeat, so holding the key down is the fastest
way to continue keyboard cursor movement in a given direction.
Page Up and Page Down keys The Page Up and Page Down keys page
through listings. The Page Up key displays the previous page of data. The
Page Down key displays the next page of data.
Selecting a menu item
To select a menu item with the keyboard, position the cursor (the location
highlighted in inverse video) on the menu item and press the Return or Enter
key.
