2.8.2 Anatomy of a Menu
Within RSS, there are menus that take you to screens where you can change the choice or value of a field.
The only difference between a menu and a screen is the information shown in the working area, shown as
3 in Figure 2-7. A menu or screen has four areas, labelled below as 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Figure 2-7.
An RSS Menu
Location ID Area. In this area you will find the words “Motorola Radio Service Software” and a menu or
screen pathname for the current menu or screen shown on the display. Each menu and screen name will
be separated by a colon (:). For some examples of this pathname, glance ahead in this manual to see the
menus and screens that are deeper into the RSS tree (past this MAIN MENU (the highest root level),
which is the assumed, default starting point). If a radio is connected, the current radio model being read
will also be displayed in this area.
Instruction Area. This area tells you the allowable actions for the current menu or screen. It is divided
into 4 lines; the first two lines are reserved for messages to the user, and the last two lines are status lines.
Working Area. This area of a menu (not a screen) displays a list of functions (menu choices) you can exe-
cute from the current menu. Each menu-item is preceded by an F-number key. Pressing an F-number key
advances you to another menu or screen (see Figure 2-9).
F-Key ID Area. This area displays the F-number keys and function names for the current menu or screen.
