MENU/DISPLAY OVERVIEW
The user selects the desired menu screen using the number keys. After being selected,
the menu screen will initially only display information. The user can alter the displayed
information (if allowed) by pressing the EDIT key. Once the editor is activated, the user
may select a data or selection field, enter new data or change selection, and press the
ENTER key to load the new data/selection. Sub-menu screens will appear as
appropriate if additional related parameters exist for the entry being edited.
If control key EDIT or MENU is pressed instead of the ENTER key, the original
information or selection for that field will be retained. After data for the last field of a
screen or sub-screen has been accepted with the ENTER key, the display reverts back
to the information only (non-editable) screen. This allows the operator to verify the
changes that were entered.
Most displayed data and status can be queried through the RS-232 I/O port. Reference
commands are included with the following menu/screen display overviews.
