Navigating
the Menus Via the Keypad and LCD
For input and display of information
the CompuCarve
machine
employs
a
tactile keypad and LCD display.
ALL operations
require the user to input
information
at the actual machine location via the keypad (as opposed
to
information
input and passed through the design software).
The amount
of information
needed
is dependent
on the operation
requested.
The
layout of the keypad is shown below.

INPUT KEYPAD
The CompuCarve's
LCD display consists of two lines.
Typically,
the
display will print a menu name or a prompt on the top line and a related
menu option on the second line.

LCD DISPLAY
The LCD display's
contrast may be adjusted with the small knob
located directly below the keypad.
To turn it, place a thumb on the
knob's surface and press in while twisting.
Navigating
the menu structure
is usually done by browsing
through the
menu structure.
Alternatively
the shortcut keys on the keypad can be
used if the user is familiar with the options.
Browsing
uses three buttons
on the keypad: up arrow, down arrow, and the ENTER key. As described
previously,
when a menu is displayed,
the menu name will be on the top
line and the current menu option will be displayed
on the bottom line of the
display.
To browse the other menu options simply press the down arrow
on the keypad to move to the next option.
To return to a previous
option,
press the up-arrow.
When the bottom of a menu options list is reached,
pressing the down key will wrap back to the top of the menu.
Pressing
the STOP button while in the menu structure
will
automatically
return the user to the previous
menu prompt.
After an option is selected
within a menu the machine
may offer further
choices to be selected,
or it may require additional
data about the board
and the type of cut desired.
This may require a keypad entry.
