Programming Procedures
Console/Display Instructions Header
In most cases, the screen shown in the console display area contains the results
of the previous step. A step with no screen indicates that you should look at the
preceding step. The console key that corresponds to the option you are to select
is highlighted in black as shown in sample Step 1 above. The function key that
corresponds to the highlighted console option is shown in the right column under
the PC header.
When more than one but fewer than six options may be selected from the
screen, each console key for each option is highlighted in gray as shown in
sample Step 3 below. To prevent clutter, when six or more options may be
selected, no highlighting is shown. See "Additional Information and PC Headers"
for more information about how more than five options are presented.
Additional Information and PC Headers
The information displayed under the Additional Information header may contain
notes, a value entered in a previous step, branching instructions, general
information, or specific instructions.
Sample Step 2 shows a typical display of a value entered in a previous step. The
x corresponds to the x shown on the console screen. Variable screen information
is always shown as x s or n s in italics.ı Variable input information is always
shown in brackets ([]), as x s or n s in italics.
In data entry steps, the area under the Additional Information header contains
instructions that apply to both the console and the PC. In such cases, the PC
Û
column contains the symbol . When you see this symbol, follow the instructions
under the Additional Information header, for example:
Dial or type [ nn ].
On the console you dial the entry, and on the PC you type the entry.
Û
You also see the symbol when six or more options can be selected from a
screen. Rather than highlighting all of the options and showing all of the PC keys,
the Additional Information header contains instructions for both, for example:
Press the button or function key next to your selection.
On the console you press the key next to your selection, and on the PC you
press the function key next to your selection.
