j: Page menu button

When

 

this

 

button

 

is

 

pressed,

 

a

 

list

 

of

 

menu

 

commands

 

will

 

appear.

 

The

 

available

 

commands

 

will

 

vary

 

depending

 

on

 

the

 

current

 

page.

 

To

 

select

 

a

 

command,

 

just

 

touch

 

it.

 

The

 

page

 

menu

 

will

 

close

 

when

 

you

 

press

 

the

 

LCD

 

screen

a

 

location

 

other

page

 

menu,

 

or

 

when

 

you

the

 

EXIT

 

button.

Although

 

each

 

page

 

may

 

have

 

its

 

own

 

unique

 

menu

 

commands,

 

the

 

menus

 

are

 

standardized

 

as

 

much

 

as

 

possible.

 

For

 

instance,

 

WRITE

 

is

 

usually

 

the

 

first

 

menu

 

item

 

in

 

Program,

 

Combination,

 

and

 

Global

 

modes.

Menu shortcut: ENTER + numeric keypad

You

 

can

 

use

 

a

to

 

access

 

any

 

of

 

the

 

first

 

ten

 

menu

 

items:

1. Hold

 

down

 

the

 

ENTER

 

key.

2. Press

0.

For

 

instance,

 

press

 

0

 

for

 

the

 

first

 

menu

 

command,

 

1

 

for

 

the

 

second,

 

and

 

so

 

on.

If

 

the

 

menu

 

command

 

just

 

toggles

 

an

 

option

 

on

 

and

 

off

 

(such

 

as

 

Exclusive

 

Solo),

 

then

 

you’re

 

done.

 

If

 

the

 

command

 

calls

 

up

 

a

 

dialog

 

box,

 

the

 

dialog

 

will

 

appear

 

on

 

the

 

LCD,

 

and

 

you

 

can

 

proceed

 

just

 

as

 

if

 

you’d

 

selected

 

the

 

command

 

from

 

the

 

touch

screen.

Dialog box

Many

 

menu

 

commands

 

use

 

dialog

 

boxes

 

to

 

make

 

additional

 

settings.

 

The

 

dialog

 

box

 

that

 

appears

 

will

 

depend

 

on

 

the

 

currently

 

selected

 

menu

 

command.

To

 

confirm

 

settings

 

in

 

a

 

dialog

 

box,

 

press

 

the

 

OK

 

button.

 

To

 

exit

 

without

 

making

 

changes,

 

press

 

the

 

Cancel

 

button.

 

After

 

pressing

 

either

 

OK

 

or

 

Cancel,

 

the

 

dialog

 

box

 

will

 

close.
