(a) Scratchpad. The scratchpad is a
buffer to hold all data for review prior to executing the
input. As data is keyed into the CDU with the keypad,
the entered values are displayed within the scratchpad
field at the bottom of the display. Incorrect entries are
cleared with the CLR key. A single press clears the
last character on the right. Holding the CLR key down
clears the entire scratchpad. The scratchpad is
cleared automatically when the system accepts valid
inputs.
(b) Function Keys. The labeled function
keys are used to call up specific top-level pages of the
CDU and to simultaneously dedicate the line select
keys to the functions indicated on that page.
Exceptions are the MARK, DATA, and M3 keys that
do not change the page but do initiate their respective
functions. Some functions which are less frequently
used in flight are accessed through the index (IDX)
and flight plan edit (EDIT) function keys and then via
line select keys on the respective menu page. The
Index and Flight Plan Edit pages are shown in Figure
3B-18.
(c) Line Select Keys. Line select keys
can be used to access lower level pages, toggle
modes of the function, enter data in the associated
field, or copy data in the scratchpad. When undefined
line select keys are pressed, no operation is performed
and no annunciation is displayed.
