Prompts and Remarks
Frequently, it is convenient to log constants (such as leaf#, plot#) and remarks
(treatment codes, etc.) as columns in the data file. OPENÕs Prompt Control
allows you to define these types of fields. Once defined, you can cause the
program to prompt you for these values each time you press Log, or anytime
you press the AutoPrompt function key (
F5
level 3).
Prompt Control
The Prompt Control screen (Figure 9-11), accessed from the Config Menu,
provides a method of defining and managing user defined constants and re-
marks.
The prompt configuration shown in Figure 9-11 will prompt for ÒPlot#Ó (an
integer), ÒCommentsÓ (a 16 character maximum length string), and ÒAreaÓ (a
Figure 9-11. The Prompt Control screen lists the currently defined prompts,. You can edit them (Prompt Editor) or
select a new list. (

). The prompts are used when
f5
level 3 is pressed in New Measurements mode, or
when
f3
is pressed here (
Ask Prompts
).
