Soft Buttons

Soft buttons are indicated on the LCD
using square brackets ([…]) and curly
brackets ({…}). 

Where a display contains more than
one soft button (eg 

OK

 and 

CANCEL

square brackets. A selected button is
highlighted (ie flashing). 

The up and down arrow keys are used
to select the required soft button.

actioned by pressing the GO/ENTER
button on the front panel. 

Example - a warning message with two 
soft buttons (

 and 

CANCEL

):

***** WARNING ******

and also the currently selected button.
Pressing the GO/ENTER key on the
front panel will activate the

On several of the LCD screens, there
are more editable options and/or soft
buttons than will fit on the four lines of

characters are displayed on the right
hand side of the LCD screen to show
