Navigation Controls

The navigation controls include a rotary knob, navigation keys, and the display
keys. They allow you to navigate within the display or within dialog boxes.

Rotary Knob

The rotary knob has several functions:
Getting Started 1179.1335.02 ─ 02
Description
Enter numbers and (special) characters in edit dialog boxes.
Inserts a decimal point "." at the cursor position.
Changes the sign of a numeric parameter. In the case of an
alphanumeric parameter, inserts a "-" at the cursor position.
These keys add the selected unit to the entered numeric value
and complete the entry.
In the case of level entries (e.g. in dB) or dimensionless values,
all units have the value "1" as multiplying factor. Thus, they have
the same function as an [Enter] key.
Toggles between insert and overwrite mode
Closes all kinds of dialog boxes, if the edit mode is not active.
Quits the edit mode, if the edit mode is active. In dialog boxes
that contain a "Cancel" button it activates that button.
For "Edit" dialog boxes the following mechanism is used:
If data entry has been started, it retains the original value
and closes the dialog box.
If data entry has not been started or has been completed, it
closes the dialog box.
If an alphanumeric entry has already been started, this key dele-
tes the character to the left of the cursor.
Has the same effect as pressing the rotary knob
Concludes the entry of dimensionless entries. The new value
is accepted.
With other entries, this key can be used instead of the
default unit key.
In a dialog box, selects the default or focused element.
Calls the next dialog level.
Confirms and closes open input windows.
