Selecting Items From An Option List - Siemens SITRANS F Instruction Manual

Section 1

Selecting Items from an Option List

This example shows how to use an option list to select a liquid for your application. Do not worry about
how to access this menu right now. That will be explained later. Examine the screen below. Note that the
menu name [Application Data] appears highlighted on lower left of the screen. Note also that the menu
cell [Liquid Class] is highlighted and what is shown in the right-hand column is the current answer: [20%
Ethyl Glycl].
Pressing the <Right Arrow> changes the left-hand column to [Select Liquid]. Pressing the <Right Arrow>
again accesses the option list. This expands the highlighted area to show the list contents. Note that a
cursor (arrow) points to the top item on the list.
The <Up and Down Arrows> scroll option lists in their respective directions. Every press moves the
cursor to the next item in sequence. Due to the size of the display screen, some option lists include more
items than can be shown on the display. For example, on the screen above the last option shown is
[Acetic Acid]. However, with this option list, you can continue to press the <Down Arrow> to see more
liquid selections. When you arrive at the last item on a list, the next <Down Arrow> press brings you back
to the top of the list. This is because the option lists are of the "wrap-around" type.
To select an option list item, move the cursor to the item and then press the <ENT> key. This places your
selection at the top of the list and moves you out of the option list to the next menu cell. Examine screen
on next page. The option list item: [20% Ethylene Glycol] has been selected. Note that this appears on
the right-hand column and that the highlighted area moves to the next menu cell in sequence: [Esti-
mated Vs m/s].
