Description
Help - Pressing F1 on any menu invokes the general Help window.
The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages.
The keys have no affect if a submenu or pick list is displayed.
Select Item up - The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a menu
item's option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the Enter key activates the
selected item.
Select Item down - The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu
item's option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the Enter key activates the
selected item.
Change Value - The minus key or the F5 function key is used to change the value
of the current item to the previous value. This key scrolls through the values in
the associated pick list without displaying the full list.
Change Value - The plus key or the F6 function key is used to change the value
of the current menu item to the next value. This key scrolls through the values
in the associated pick list without displaying the full list. On 106-key Japanese
keyboards, the plus key has a different scan code than the plus key on the other
keyboard, but it has the same effect.
Execute Command - The Enter key is used to activate submenus when the
selected feature is a submenu, or to display a pick list if a selected feature has a
value field, or to select a sub-field for multi-valued features like time and date.
If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will undo the pick list, and allow another
selection in the parent menu.
Exit - The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key
will undo the pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while
editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered.
When the ESC key is pressed in any submenu, the parent menu is re-entered.
When the ESC key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window
is displayed and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded.
Setup Defaults - Pressing F9 causes the following to appear:
Load default configuration now?
If "Yes" is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their
default values. If "No" is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC
key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before F9 was pressed
without affecting any existing field values.
Save and Exit - Pressing F10 causes the following message to appear:
Save Configuration changes and exit now?
If "Yes" is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all changes are saved and
Setup is exited. If "No" is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or the ESC key
is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before F10 was pressed
without affecting any existing values.
