Entry has been selected. You may choose to have the events auto-numbered or

Monitor and select events

Once you have activated the proper channels and set destinations for the data
from these channels, you are ready to begin collecting data. Of course, you can
always just start by collecting data using the default columns. To capture an event,
just press the $ADD# menu key. If you have selected to capture events only, or to
have them auto-numbered, you will see a display similar to the one depicted in
Figure 3- 1 0, which shows that your event data are being added to the current data
set. If you have selected to add events to your entry, the display will appear as
shown in Figure 3- 1 1, prompting you to add your numerical entry to the event just
captured.
