User Interface Flow Diagram
The following diagram shows the flow of the T20 pendant user interface. Please note the fol-
lowing:
The Home button always returns you to the T20 pendant user interface Home screen.
l
For details, see the next section.
The Cancel button always takes you "back" one screen (up one level in the diagram).
l
Additionally, in the case of the "Expanded Array" screens, these continue to repeat, if
there are arrays within arrays. At each level, pressing the Cancel button will back up
exactly one level.
The software incorporates a "key blocking" feature, which ignores continued key inputs
l
while the pendant is processing the current input. This is most notable during the
"Power On" sequence, which may take a few seconds during which the pendant will
not respond.This prevents the pendant from suddenly executing a series of queued-up
inputs, if you have moved on to a different command screen.
