COM 265 Screen Forms

All COM 265 functions can be invoked by making the appropriate entries in interactive screen forms.
All COM 265 interactive screen forms have the same structure. Each screen form is subdivided into
four areas, or sections. The structure of the COM 265 screen forms is shown below, using the
"Function Selection" form, or menu, as an example.

Header
The header in all COM 265 screen forms comprises one line, and may contain varying information,
depending on the operator servicing level and the selected COM 265 function. The user cannot
change the header.
Input/output area
The large middle section is the input area in all COM 265 screen forms. This area is used for
entering the parameters and program in the PG's program memory, or to display previously stored
program data and parameters (output area).
Message line
COM 265 uses the message line to inform you about the progress of an invoked function, operator
input errors, or faults/malfunctions.
Menu line
The softkey menu (function keys <F1> to <F8>), which is located at the bottom of the screen,
shows the key to press on the programmer keyboard in order to invoke a specific COM 265
function.
