quishes control of the robot.
The CDM will display any error messages generated by the robot.
The CDM provides access to a multi-level functional command structure, as shown in
the simplified command-flow chart in
. The screen will display menus, in
descending order, that prompt the user for choices and data entries.
The choice and data entry menus list and identify the options available and prompt
the user for a choice from among the options offered. For example, (Y/N) indicates
that the user should choose the “Yes” key or the “No” key. Some menus present mul-
tiple choices, such as L, S, P or 1,2,3,4, which indicates that the user should choose
from among the keys labeled “Lower”, “Slot”, “Pitch” or “1”, “2”, “3”, “4” as appro-
priate. In all cases the choices will refer to dedicated keys; there is never any need
spell out commands.
