5Base The Base fields allow you to specify the number base in which you want
to define a pattern for a label. The Base fields also let you use a symbol
that was specified in the Timing Symbol Table for the pattern. Each label
has its own base defined separately from the other labels. If you select one
of the Base fields, you will see the following pop-up menu. Decide which
base you want to define your pattern in and select that option.
One of the options in the Base pop-up is ASCII. It allows you to see the
ASCII characters that are represented by the pattern you specified in the
Find Pattern field.

whenthebaseisASCII. If you touch this field, the message "ASCII entry
not available" appears. You cannot enter ASCII characters directly. You
must specify a pattern in one of the other bases; then switch the base to
ASCII and to see what characters the pattern represents.
