Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005100925A1] The invention relates to a method for controlling a single-space display (DISP) unit of an electric device (G) with the aid of one button (B1), wherein said display unit comprises, for a significant number of display lines (A1-An), a display field (AF) for displaying the device specific values and an indicator field (IF) for a binary selection value. In a first button-operating mode, one display line is recurrently displayed in a predetermined sequence according to the selection field value. In a second operating mode, each display line is recurrently displayed in a predetermined sequence independently of the selection value. In a third operating mode, the selection value of the displayed display line is modified, thereby enabling a user to advantageously configure the desired display values in a very simple manner with a minimum technical complexity. An electric device provided with electronic means for carrying out said method is also disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the display unit is simultaneously designed in the form of a button.
