ABSTRACT:
In a method for reading in a data value that is entered with a pointer actuator a data value as well as a place value (i.e., 10.sup.x where x is arbitrary) is prescribed, a control motion is read in, at least a first motion value or a second motion value dependent on the control motion is determined, and the place value is modified if necessary dependent on the first motion value and the data value is modified if necessary dependent on the second motion value and the current place value. With such a method, data values can be entered fast and comfortably with a pointer in a large value range and with high precision.
