1.6 Data Editing
Many of the COMTEST functions require you to enter numeric values, e.g. setting a
Pace rate, sample dimensions, etc.
In these cases, a list of editable fields will be displayed. The list may include 1, 2 or
more items, but only up to 3 can be seen at a time. In this case, it can be scrolled to
bring up further options. Each item includes:-
•
a description of the parameter that can be edited
•
its value
•
where applicable, any units associated with it
On the
Active
row in the screen you will see a “<” cursor appear, and COMTEST is
waiting for your key presses. A parameter value is always edited in a copy in a buffer,
so you have the opportunity to reject any changes made. To save any changes, use
the
ENTER
key. Each key has a special function while editing
Scroll the list up, making the item above the Active row ready for
editing. The parameter in the previous Active row is restored to its
original value, so any changes made since it was last saved will be lost.
