Selecting Menu
Options
Entering a
Command String
You select a menu option by entering its name (or enough of the name
to uniquely identify it within the particular menu) at the selection prompt.
For example, to access the system menu from the top-level menu, you
could enter:
Select a menu option:
OR
Select a menu option:
Menu options are NOT case sensitive.
When you enter a menu option, you either go to the next menu in the
hierarchy or information is displayed for the option you entered, whether it
is a prompt or screen display. If you enter the menu option incorrectly, you
receive a prompt telling you that what you entered was not valid or was
ambiguous.
When a new menu appears, the selection prompt changes to reflect your
progression through the menus. For example, if you enter system at the
top-level menu and then baseline at the system menu, the prompt
changes at the next level to the following:
Select a menu option (system/baseline):
Once you are familiar with the menu structure, instead of working your way
down the menu hierarchy to a task, you can enter a string of menu options
at a selection prompt to go immediately to a task. For example, the
command string for setting a baseline from the top-level menu would look
like:
Select a menu option:
The most abbreviated version of the same command string would be:
Select a menu option:
When you enter a command string, you move to the last item entered in
the command string, and information relevant to that command is
displayed, whether it is a menu, prompt, or screen display.
