Navigating Axes 1, 2, 3 & 4 (Analogue) Setup 

The DP1200 supports a quick navigation feature using the LCD screen and numeric keys, enabling the
user to navigate to specific areas without scrolling through each and every menu. This is particularly
useful when navigating to one specific item. 
Below are the quick navigation keys for the setup of Axes 1, 2, 3 or 4 dependant on model (where 
navigation to the main axis setup menu is completed).
