User’s Guide
During operation, panel operators will press navigation buttons, global navigation buttons,
or category buttons to jump to other pages.
Navigation buttons do not jump to global suffix pages or global navigation pages. Only
global navigation buttons jump to global navigation pages; only category buttons
jump to suffix pages. However, the operator will probably see no appreciable difference
between the button types. See
on
.
When you double-click the page number field of a page you want to edit, the image of that
page appears in the panel graphic area.
The ‘Links to Page Num(s)’ column lists, for any page, the other pages that refer to it. Using
the links column you can mentally examine the tree structure or create a sketch of the tree
structure. You might note that if the link field of a page is empty, the page is inaccessible
during operation. (The exception is the default page which is always available after reset. It
might become unavailable in a configuration that has subpages with no ‘back’ buttons.)
Paging Model
The page table lists the pages of the button page list. It has 3 columns: ‘Page Number’, ‘Page
Name’, and ‘Link to Page Num(s)’.
The button page at the top (or root) of the tree is called “Default.” Initially, the tree has just
the default page, until you add other pages.
To select a page for editing, double-click its entry in the ‘Page Number’ column.
To delete a page or pages from the tree, select the pages in the button page list, right-click
the list, and choose one of the deletion commands from the context menu that appears.
This is a sample of a page table under the paging model:
It represents a list structure. When the operator presses the ‘Up’ button, the preceding page
appears, unless the operator is viewing the first page. When the operator presses the ‘down’
button, the following page appears unless the operator is viewing the last page.
You can use the scroll buttons to select a page for editing. You can also double-click an
entry in the ‘Page Number’ column to select a page for editing.
To append a page to the list, either click the ‘Add a New Page’ button or click the ‘Down’
button when you are viewing the last page. New pages are named automatically.
You can change the name of a page by double-clicking the page’s name field and editing its
text. (The page name is not apparent to the operator.)
