Using Entry/Select (Arrow) Keys
There are six entry/select keys of which four are “arrow” keys. The function of the
four arrow keys and the Enter key depends on the Counter’s operating mode (that is,
numeric entry, state changing, sequencing through choices in a menu, etc.). This
section describes how the keys perform in the different operating modes.
To Use During Numeric Entry
•
Use the s key to move left to select adjustable digits (it does not wrap around).
•
Use the g key to move right to select adjustable digits (it does not wrap around).
•
Use the d key to increment the selected (highlighted) digit of the displayed value.
•
Use the f key to decrement the selected (highlighted) digit of the displayed value.
•
Use the +/

key to change the sign of the numeric value.
•
Use the Enter key to complete a numeric entry. (If a numeric entry is changed
and the Enter key is NOT pressed, then the value is not changed.)
