You can connect a 101– or 106– keyboard to the rear panel. You can use the 
keyboard to enter the same characters shown in the Character Palette. Use the Shift 
key to enter uppercase characters. Table 3-32 describes the editor operations

The Equation editor has built–in keywords and functions to make creating 
equations an easier task. These commands insert correctly–formatted keywords or 
functions into the text file at the current caret position. Inserted keywords are 
treated as ordinary text if you need to edit them. The keywords are described in the 
Waveform Programming Language
