Model 275 Universal Hart Communicator
2.6.1 Adding Quick Access Key Options
The Quick Access Key menu contains space for up to 20 on-line options. For example, if device tags and
damping must be changed often, simply add both of them to the menu. The Communicator automatically
saves them so they can be accessed quickly by pressing the Quick Access Key.
From one of the menus or submenus reached via the Online menu, use the following steps to add
customized options to the Quick Access Key Menu:
1. Using the UP or DOWN arrow keys, move the menu bar to highlight the option to be added to the
Quick Access Key menu (e.g., Damping, under the Configure Xmtr\Sensor Input menu).
2. Press any shift key, release it, then press the Quick Access
Key. The Hotkey Configuration menu displays (at right).
The Hotkey Configuration menu displays the new topic
being added to the list of current Quick Access Key options.
For example, in the figure at right, Damping is being added.
3. Press ADD (F3) to add the option. Pressing EXIT (F4)
terminates the procedure and displays the menu that was
displayed when "Shift," Quick Access Key was pressed.
4. After pressing ADD (F3), either press ALL (F1) to add the
new option to the Quick Access Key menu for all the
HART-compatible devices supported by the Communicator
or press ONE (F4) to add the option to the Quick Access
Key Menu only for the type of device that is currently
connected.
5. Next, the question "Mark as read-only variable on Quick
Access Key menu?" may appear. Press YES (F1) to mark the
variable for this option as read-only. Press NO (F4) to mark
the variable as read/write. Marking a parameter for a device
as read-only allows users to view, but not change, the
parameter using the Quick Access Key Menu. Marking it as
read/write permits the value to be changed from the Quick
Access Key menu.
Finally, "Display value of variable on hotkey menu?" is
displayed. Press YES (F1) to display the current variable
associated with the option next to the option on the Quick
Access Key menu as shown at right for Damping and Tag.
Press NO (F2) not to display the variable on the Quick
Access Key menu.
6. When finished adding options, press EXIT (F4) to exit the
Hotkey Configuration menu and return to the menu of the
last option deleted.
