Input possibilities
+ Move forwards to next parameter value or to the next start range.
'+' at the fifth range or at the last parameter value causes a jump to the
prompt for "Textlnth".
- Move backwards to previous parameter value or to the previous start
range.
'-' at the first range or first parameter value causes a jump to the
prompt for "Textlnth".
^K Clear start range entry. (To make place for another start range). The
deleted entry is acknowledged with "Cleared".
* From this start range onwards all further parameter values are given
the same attributes.
OutsFrst Selection of an explicit parameter value or start range. In this way a
value can also be accessed which lies outside the 5 possible entries.

Extra text
The value specified in 'TextLnth' limits the length of the parameter value/text, which is to
be updated.
Analogue values and text which exceed the specified 'TextLnth' are simply truncated
(right justified) irrespective if they are whole or fractional numbers. (See 'Text').
Should the parameter to be updated have a physical unit, e.g. DEG.C then this text is
appended to the updated value. However, the limitation placed by 'TextLnth' can also
truncate this text should it, together with the parameter value have insufficient place in
the specified length.
The same applies to any extra text, (See 'Texttype')
[Par.Text...Par+Extr]
Text selection.
Par.Text Only one "parameter text" is displayed (see below).
ExtrText The dynamic text is a language-dependent additional text. Such text
can provide helpful additional information, in particular for dynamic
active channels not related to data points, e.g., sequential pictures, CB
Tasks, etc.
Extra text must be calculated within the limits specified by "Textlnth".
Par+Extr The dynamic text includes specific parameter text plus any appended
language-dependent additional text.
Extra text extends the number of characters and must be taken into
account when defining length of text with "Textlnth".
