C-5
Model 268 SMART FAMILY Interface
If you press an Alphanumeric key alone from within an edit menu, the
bold character in the center of the key appears. These characters
include the numbers zero through nine, the decimal point (.), and the
dash symbol (–).
To enter an alphabetic character, first press the Shift key that
corresponds to the position of the letter you want on the alphanumeric
key. Then press the alphanumeric key. For example, to enter the letter
R, first press the right Shift key, then the “6” key (see Figure B-3). Do
not press the keys simultaneously; press them one after the other.

Function Keys
Use the four software-defined function keys, located below the LCD, to
perform software functions. On any given menu, the label appearing
above a function key indicates the function of that key for the current
menu. As you move among menus, different function key labels appear
over the four keys.
Function Key Sequences
The Model 268 Function Key feature provides quick on-line access to
transmitter variables and functions. Instead of stepping your way
through the menu structure, you can press a Function Key sequence to
move from the Home Menu to the desired variable or function.
On-screen instructions guide you through the rest of the screens.
Function Key Sequence
Conventions
The Function Key Sequences for the Model 268 use the following
conventions for their identification:
•
F1, F2, F3, F4
—Refer to each function key located directly below
the LCD on the Model 268.
•
F2(×7)
—Means to push the F2 key 7 consecutive times.
Likewise, F3(×5) would mean to push the F3 key 5 consecutive
times.
•
(F1)
—The function key symbol enclosed in parentheses means
that you may have to press that key one or more times to bring
up the proper screen. After finishing the preceding sequence, you
may have to press the F1 key to bring up the desired function.
The Function Key Sequences are applicable only from the Home
Screen. The Home Screen lists the Model and Tag, and labels the four
function keys Offline, Test, Configure and Format. After completing a
task, return to the Home Menu if you intend to use the Function Key
Sequences. Function Key Sequences
will not work
from any other
Model 268 screen.
To return to the Home Menu, use the Function Keys to Exit the current
task and press PREVIOUS FUNCTION as many times as necessary.
When the Home Menu appears, you can use another Function Key
Sequence to reach a desired task.
