Claim:
A method of facilitating user entry of a manually-adjustable data setting normally imaged in a predetermined size on an imaging display in an aircraft cockpit, comprising the steps of: manually manipulating, by the user, a control for one of adjusting the data setting and selecting the data setting to be adjusted; sensing said manipulating of the control by the user; enlarging, in response to said sensed manipulating of the control by the user, the image of the data setting on the display from the predetermined size to a predeterminately enlarged size to unambiguously direct the user's attention to the predeterminately enlarged imaged data setting to be adjusted; maintaining the enlarged image of the data setting on the display during said sensed manipulating of the control by the user; and reducing the enlarged image of the data setting on the display from the predeterminately enlarged size to the predetermined size when said sensed manipulating of the control is determined to have ceased.
