Communicator Alphanumeric
and Shift Keys
HOT Key
Use this key to quickly access important, user-defined options when
connected to a HART-compatible device. Pressing the Hot Key turns
the HART Communicator on and displays the Hot Key Menu.
See Customizing the Hot Key Menu in the HART Communicator manual for
more information.
Function Keys
Use the four software-defined function keys, located below the LCD, to
perform software functions. On any given menu, the label appearing above a
function key indicates the function of that key for the
current menu.
As you move among menus, different function key labels appear over the four
keys. For example, in menus providing access to online help, the
may appear above the F1 key. In menus providing access to the Home Menu,
the label may appear above the F3 key. Press the key to activate the
HOME
function. See the HART Communicator manual for details on specific
Function Key definitions.
Alphanumeric and Shift Keys
The Alphanumeric keys perform two functions: fast selection of menu options
(refer to HART Fast Key Feature in this section) and data entry.
Some menus require data entry. Use the Alphanumeric and Shift keys to enter
all alphanumeric information into the HART Communicator. If you press an
Alphanumeric key alone from within an edit menu, the bold character in the
center of the key appears. These large characters include the numbers zero
through nine, the decimal point (.), and the dash symbol (–).
To enter an alphabetic character:
1. Press the Shift key that corresponds to the position on the Alphanumeric
key of the letter you want.
2. Press the Alphanumeric key.
