4.1.2 Information Text
Information text contains information about the current display contents. It is
created during configuration with ProTool/Lite and provides additional in-
formation in the language set on the OP. Information text can be configured
for
event messages and alarm messages,
screens,
screen entries,
input fields and dual I/O fields,
recipes, recipe entries,
schedulers.
Information text can be used to convey, for example, information to the user
on the current assignment of the soft keys. Information text relating to an
alarm message may contain additional hints, for example, on the possible
cause of the alarm and how to remedy it.
The availability of information text is indicated by the HELP LED being lit.

OP.

formation text is available (lit LED), the information text is output by press-
ing the
HELP

HELP
key a second time displays information
text associated with the screen entry, if configured.

able, information text associated with the screen entry, if configured, is dis-
played directly.
