The Optional Mouse
The mouse is an optional user interface accessory
(HP 46060A). The mouse functions in the same
way as the touchscreen and the knob. Moving it
about on a hard, flat surface will move the cursor
over the entire screen. To select a field, connect
the mouse to the front panel HIL connector and
move the mouse until the cursor rests in the
desired field. Press the left button of the mouse to
complete the selection of the field. To duplicate
the knob function, press and hold the right button
of the mouse and move it over the desktop. When
the correct numerical value or the correct function
has been selected, stop moving the mouse and
release the right button.
The Optional Keyboard
The keyboard is an optional user interface
accessory (HP E2427A). The keyboard can be
used interchangeably with the knob, the
touchscreen, and the mouse for all menu
applications.
