Maple Systems Silver HMI504T, Installation And Operation Manual

When the OIT initializes, it displays the startup screen (Window #10) and the default common window.
To change common windows, we press the CCW function key that we have configured to change the common
window to Window#30.
Window#30 remains the common window until another function key object is pressed that changes the common
window or until the OIT is reset.
Using the Fast Se lec tion Win dow
In the last section, you read that common windows are great for displaying information that should be displayed all
the time, regardless of which base windows are active. However, you may create projects that require a window
that is always accessible (like a common window)
but not always displayed . For example, you may want a numeric
keypad available for any data entry. However, a keypad takes precious space on the OIT display. Ideally it should
appear on screen only when a key was pressed and then, by pressing another (or the same) key, the keypad should
disappear.
This is essentially the purpose of the Fast Selection window. The Fast Selection window is available only if the
Task Bar is activated (more about this feature later in this chapter). The Fast Selection window can also be used as a
menu key that allows the OIT operator to rapidly switch screens.
Whenever a new project is created, the fast selection window (Window #4) is automatically created.
