Some parameters require you to select from a number of options in
the input field. Fields of this type do not allow you to type in a value.
Press the "Alternat." softkey or the "Select" key until the required
setting is displayed.
The "Alternat." softkey is only visible when the cursor is positioned on
an input field that presents a choice of options. The "Select" key is
also only active in this situation.
For the remaining parameters, enter a numerical value in the input
field using the keys on the operator panel.
Enter the desired value.
Press the "Input" key to terminate entry.
If you do not want to enter a value, i.e. not even "0", press the
"Backspace" or "Del" key.
