Figure 5.2 User Menu
Behind the user menu is the A window and above it is the Main menu, indicating
that you are now in Edit mode.
Use the up or down arrow keys or click you mouse on the vertical scroll bar to
highlight different files. When you reach the file you wish to load, press
[Enter]
or click your mouse on the
Go<ENTER>
option. The file is loaded into the next
available window. A new window is created, if necessary.
When you load a file into the User menu, you must create a descriptive name for
the file under which the file will be listed on the user menu. The actual filename
does not change.
For example, you have two BASIC files called FURN1.BDL and FURN2.BDL,
used to control heat-treating furnaces. If you add them to the user menu, you can
load them quickly using the Select a project file option. Also, you can create a
descriptive name so that others using the software will recognize them. The
FURN1.BDL file could be listed as “FURNACE CONTROL PROGRAM,
MAIN FURNACE, SOUTH WALL”. The FURN2.BDL file could be listed as
“FURNACE CONTROL PROGRAM, BACKUP FURNACE, WEST WALL”.
