field. When rotated whilst pressed inwards, moves the cursor along the
characters in the field.
In Direct Mode, the key LED is lit and all waveform changes take
immediate effect. When Direct Mode is not active, the 6100A is in
'Deferred' mode. In Deferred mode changes to waveforms are stored but
not applied. Stored changes can be applied simultaneously or 'undone'.
