10. HOW TO USE THE SCREENS
10.1 Basic Screen Components
The user can interact locally with the SDT 5000 through a set of screens accessible through the
TEST port. While the function and form of the screens can vary greatly, every screen was
designed to operate in exactly the same way. This consistency means that a user need only learn a
small set of commands to get maximum usefulness out of an SDT 5000. In addition, every screen
has some common components that are illustrated in
Screen 3 below.

10.1.1 TITLE BAR
A screen’s Title Bar consists of the top two lines on the screen. The first line displays
company name, copyright and product name and current mode. The second line displays the
title of the current screen. Examples include: Transparent, AT, NP. The Title Bar is displayed
using reverse video characters.
10.1.2 SELECTION BAR
The Selection Bar has all the valid commands the user may choose on the current screen. The
user may type the selection in the Select Field or select the command from the Selection Bar
by advancing the cursor using <TAB> or using one of the arrow keys. Once the selection is
highlighted the user can execute the command by typing <ENTER>. The selections in the
Selection Bar are the same as the commands in the Select Field.
