Keypad Interface
The keypad on the front of the FM-3 module provides navigation through a menu of common
parameters and displays of current functions. Navigation through the menu is accomplished
with the six keys located below the display. The top two keys are called the "soft keys"
because they relate to the commands located directly above each key on the LCD. These keys
are used to select the operation (e.g. Modify, Ok, Cancel), parameter group, and/or to validate
information. The four arrow keys are used to navigate through parameter groups, select a
specific parameter to be modified, and to modify digital and numeric data.
