• Integer, Hexadecimal and Binary entry

• Trace data entry

• Menu selection when there are a large number of choices

• SDH/SONET payload mapping

• ATM physical and adaptation layer selections

• Jitter mask selections

If an attempt is made to set out of range values, the instrument will
adopt the nearest possible legal value.
