3.11 KEYPADS
To the right of the display is the vertical keypad and directly beneath the display is the horizontal
keypad . Both keypads have functioning push buttons that are dependent on the instrument mode of
operation which can be either operator/control mode or engineer mode . Mode selection is made
with the Mode (
) push button on the horizontal keypad. Engineer mode is entered to make the
necessary datapoint entries for controller operation; otherwise, the instrument is left in operator/con-
trol mode for process applications. The operator/control mode functions for the keypad push buttons
vary with the displays; therefore, they are described in Section 4, Operator Displays. Both keypads
for engineering mode operation are described as follows:
