The Fast Key feature provides quick on-line access to transmitter variables
and functions. Instead of stepping your way through the menu structure using
the Action Keys, you can press a Fast Key Sequence to move from the Online
Menu to the desired variable or function. On-screen instructions guide you
through the rest of the screens.
Fast Key Example
The Fast Key sequences are made up of the series of numbers
corresponding to the individual options in each step of the menu structure. For
example, from the Online Menu you can change the
Date . Following the
menu structure, press 1 to reach Device Setup , press 4 for Detailed Setup ,
press 5 for Device Info , press 5 for Date . The corresponding Fast Key
sequence is 1,4,5,5.
Fast Keys are operational only from the Online Menu. If you use them
consistently, you will need to return to the Online Menu by pressing HOME
(F3) when it is available. If you do not start at the Online Menu, the Fast Keys
will not function properly.
Table F-2, is a listing of every on-line function with the corresponding Fast
Keys. These codes are applicable only to the transmitter and the Handheld
Communicator.
MENUS AND
FUNCTIONS
The Handheld Communicator is a menu driven system. Each screen provides
a menu of options that can be selected as outlined above, or provides
direction for input of data, warnings, messages, or other instructions.
Main Menu
The Main Menu provides the following options:
• Offline - The Offline option provides access to offline configuration data
and simulation functions.
• Online - The Online option checks for a device and if it finds one, brings
up the Online Menu.
• Transfer - The Transfer option provides access to options for
transferring data either from the Handheld Communicator (Memory) to
the transmitter (Device) or vice versa. Transfer is used to move off-line
data from the Handheld Communicator to the flowmeter, or to retrieve
data from a flowmeter for off-line revision.
