Creating a
Shortcut to a Run
Method
You can add buttons to the Main Menu screen that allow you to go directly to the
Edit Run Method screen for a particular run method. When login is required, each
user can configure his or her own shortcut buttons; otherwise the shortcut buttons are
displayed for all instrument users.
Note:
You can also create shortcuts to instrument functions (see “Configuring Main
Menu Shortcuts to Functions” on page 2-15 ).
1. In the Browse Run Methods screen, touch one or more methods, then touch
(Create Method Shortcut).
2. In the message box that appears, touch OK .
The selected run methods appear as buttons in the Main Menu screen. The name
of the method is followed by the name, in parentheses, of the folder where the
method is stored.
Note:
Run method names longer than twelve characters will appear truncated
on the shortcut button.
To delete a shortcut to a run method, see “Configuring Main Menu Shortcuts to
Functions” on page 2-15 .
