You can use the PC keyboard for menu operations rather than using the instrument 
front panel keys or buttons. Use the keyboard to input the file name, directory 
name, and text in the Text/Equation editors. The PC keyboard character keys, ten 
keys, arrow keys, space key and shift key can be used in place of the front panel 
keys, buttons, and some menu operation commands. Table 3-43 lists other edit 
operations you can perform from the PC keyboard.

Use the general purpose knob to highlight items in the pop–up menu or file list. The 
default setting for the knob rotation is clockwise for down (backwards) and 
counterclockwise for up (forward).

Turning the knob clockwise causes the highlight bar to move down.
