5.3.1 Keyboard Entries via Softkeys or External Keyboard
After selecting ID or any other object parameter, a keyboard is dis-
played which allows entry of alpha
numeric characters via the fixed
function keys and the softkeys. Alternatively, entries can also be
made with the help of a USB keyboard or a barcode scanner
which is connected to the instrument.
The keyboard layout can be matched to the language in SETUP. 
SETUP 2/3 > Culture > K
eyboard Layout (for alphanumeric entries)
Note
In order to operate an external USB keyboard success-
fully at the SECUTEST..., it is imperative that the settings
for the
keyboard layout which have been entered in the
setup for “keyboard layout” conform to the connected
keyboard.
Procedure (example: entering a device designation):
1 Switch the keyboard to uppercase, lowercase or special char-
acters with the abc key (Abc, ABC, Symb).
2 Select the desired alphanumeric character or a line break with
the scr
oll keys (left, right, up and down). 
The selection cursor can be accelerated by pressing and
holding the respective scroll key.
3 After pressing the key , the respective character appears
in the display field.
4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the compl
ete designation is
shown in the display field.
5 The designation in the display field can
be changed subse-
quently after hiding the bottom keyboard by pressing the
key. The cursor position can then
be changed in order to
delete individual characters.
6 After pressing the green checkmark, the selected char-
acter string is saved.
5.3.2 Data Entry via Touch-Screen Keyboard (only with 
SECUTEST PRO or instrument with feature E01)
The touch-screen keyboard permits convenient entry of data and
comments, selection of parameters and direct parameter selec-
tion, and menu-driven operation is still possible via the softkeys as
an alternative.
