Commissioning
Start softkeys are configured in special files. The names of these files are stated in the
easyscreen.ini file. They usually have a name which is specific to an operating area (e.g.
startup.com for the Startup area). This does not apply to the machine operating area, where
there are a number of files specific to operating modes (ma_jog.com, ma_auto.com).
The softkey menu with the start softkeys is called "Start". Existing configurations for start
softkeys can still be used. The function whereby start softkeys are merged with the softkeys
for the respective HMI application (operating area) in the start softkey menu is not supported.
This means that until the first dialog call is made - in other words, the time at which full
functionality becomes available (e.g. execution of PRESS blocks) - menus or softkey menus
can only be replaced by others in their entirety.
Menus for standard applications are given the "easyscreenmode" menu property as part of
their XML configuration. This indicates whether the menu involved permits the use of
"Run MyScreens" start softkeys (= easyscreen) or not (= off):
