Softkey Menu Descriptions
Pattern Softkey Menus
Pressing this key produces a sub-menu of softkeys that enable
the user to save or delete a block of data; they operate as follows:
: The user can define a block of bits within the user
pattern memory, then save this block to any pattern store large
enough to hold the pattern.
: Use this key to delete a block of bits in the pattern
currently in user pattern memory.
To delete a block of bits: position the cursor at the start of the
block, select , set the cursor to the end of the block
and press .
Enables the pattern length to be selected using the numeric
keypad. If the user pattern is active the length chosen must
match the appropriate resolution.
Enables the user to assign a name or label to a pattern.
When the softkey is pressed the right-menu
changes to give softkeys of ,
, and . To
select a pattern label use the display knob to set the cursor on the
first letter or digit of the label and press the
softkey. Continue moving the cursor to the next character and
pressing until the label is finished. Press the
softkey when you have finished entering the
label. The key erases the label currently being
edited. returns the user to the
menu.
This allows the user to toggle the representation of the user
pattern data between binary (base 2) and hexadecimal (base 16).
This affects only the pattern's representation within the Pattern
editor window. The pattern is unaffected. No other display fields
within the Pattern editor window are affected.
In binary mode each complete line within the editor's display
shows 32 pattern bits (as 8 fields of 4 bits) and in hex mode 256
pattern bits (as 8 fields of 4 characters at 4 bits per character). In
either base the last line of a Pattern editor's pattern display is
truncated to show only the minimum number of characters to
display the pattern. In hex mode, where the pattern length is not
a multiple of 4, the lower bits of the final digit at bit addresses
greater than (Length -1) are ignored and considered to be zeros.
In hex mode to keys are supplemented by the to
softkeys on the Pattern editor's submenu selected via the
softkey.
