Equipment Manual OP7, OP17
Release 04/99
The screen hierarchy can be adapted to system-specific requirements and be
modified either in part or in whole. Screens can be removed or added.
Screens can be linked together in random order. The design, sequence of the
link, inclusion in the screen directory and the relevant cross-jump destina-
tions are defined during configuration with ProTool.
You branch between the different screens by means of soft keys and config-
ured cross-jump destinations. Branching from entries of different screens to
one and the same screen is possible (figure 11-1). Cross-jumps are not re-
stricted to screen level, but can branch to the message level too.
Another feature that is configured is the picture you want to have displayed
on the OP as your start screen.

An overview is presented below, with reference to an example, of the design
of a screen hierarchy. Detailed information on configuration will be found in
the ProTool/Lite User's Guide.
