4 Dialogs with TAC Xenta 300 and 401
4.1 The menus
The menus of the operator panel and the order in which they are
presented are designed by an application programmer, using the
TAC Menta design tool.
Thus, the menus shown below are only examples. The principles
showing how to select among the menus and how to change the values
are, however, general.
Cyrillic characters
The TAC Xenta OP/RU model has the capability of displaying
Cyrillic characters.
The TAC Menta User’s manual describes how you switch the charac-
ter files of the OP.
24 hour clock vs. AM/PM clock
In those menus that allow time (clock) entries, like the Time Sched-
ule , the Holiday chart (Time channels) and the Daylight saving
menus, you may choose to present time with a 24 hour clock or with a
12 hour clock, also called an AM/PM clock. The choice is made
already during the menu design phase in TAC Menta.
To translate between the two modes of display the following table can
be used.
24 hour AM/PM
clock clock
01.00 01.00 AM
06.00 06.00 AM
11.59 11.59 AM
12.00 12.00 PM
12.59 12.59 PM
13.00 01.00 PM
18.00 06.00 PM
23.59 11.59 PM
00.00 12.00 AM
00.59 12.59 AM
When the AM/PM clock is used, the time in the OP menus are
compressed to
hhAmm
and
hhPmm
for hh.mm AM and hh.mm PM
respectively.
