1.4.2 Configuring cycle selection

Function
The cycle selection is configured in the cov.com file:
• The cycle selection is assigned directly to
softkeys that are configured in the cov.com file.
• Up to three softkey levels with up to 18 softkeys
are supported; this enables the cycles to be
classified in subsets, e.g. of one technology.
• If a maximum of 6 cycles are configured on one
of the softkey levels, they all lie on a vertical
softkey tree. The 7th and 8th softkeys are
reserved for operator functions such as "Back"
or "Abort" or "Ok".
If the corresponding level contains more than 6
cycles, then the program labels the 7th softkey
with ">>" and switches the vertical softkey over
to the 2nd level.
• Only 4 softkeys are available on the first level, the
first softkey is reserved.
