Standard Buttons
Standard buttons are rectangles, rectangle variations, and other geometric shapes
that you can create with the CATP. You can add, revise, and delete buttons on a
CATP page using the Editor bar. Buttons are set with attributes, which means there
is a response (control system feedback) when you touch the button.
General Buttons
General buttons are part of the CATP software program and cannot be changed.
You use general buttons to specify panel communication parameters and create or
revise pages. Some button examples include the message bar, Editor bar, selection,
adjustment, keypad, page menu, decision, status, and keyboard.
Message bar
The message bar (Figure 19) appears when you press the Editor bar or a menu
option for setup or installation operations. The message bar instructs you to
perform an operation. Press EXIT to return to the Editor bar. The message portion is
not active (no feedback).
