12. FUNCTION SCREEN

Function screens allow function keys to be defined globally. Function key screens, which can be
created for each key, can have the screen numbers F01, F02, F03, F04, F05, F06. A pop-up
message can be programmed to appear when the function key is pressed. This feature is not
available when programming NORMAL screen function keys. The pop up message is an easy
way to confirm function key key-strokes.
The programming of these Global function keys can be overridden by local function key
programming. It will NOT replace local programming that has already been done. Only keys
with no local programming will perform the global tasks.
Programming begins by clicking on the function key that requires programming. Configure the
action of the function key by clicking on PERFORM ACTION ON button.
Once the action is set, you may choose to enter text in the text window at the upper left. If text is
entered here, a message will be displayed when that function key is pressed. If the field is left
blank, the screen will not change from the current screen.
Bit controlled text, and register information can be placed on the function key pop-up screen
using the EMBED BIT TEXT and EMBED REGISTER buttons in the lower left corner of the
screen.
Select ACCEPT CHANGES TO KEY button when finished programming a function key. Select
another function key number to edit, or select the CLOSE button.
When utilizing the pop-up window feature for the global function keys, it is necessary to enter a
MIN TIME for the screen to display. If no MIN TIME is specified the screen will appear to
quickly to read. Follow the instructions below for editing a Function Key screen to gain access
to this setting.
