System Parameters - KEP MMI-1500 Installation & Operation Manual

Allow Function Key frame when making Shapes Checkbox: Enables/Disables the automatic creation of a shape using a
function key assist. This is discussed further in the Library Operations Section.
Jump to application mode when download done Checkbox: Enables/Disables automatically forcing the HMI to the
application mode after a download. This avoids the process of going to EasyManager and pressing the Jump to Application
button or cycling power to the unit after download to put it in application mode. This is discussed further in the EasyBuilder
Operations Section.
Automatic save and compile at download and simulate checkbox: Enables/Disables automatically saving and compiling
a project before simulation or download. This shortens the usual 3-step process to one step. This is discussed further in the
EasyBuilder Operations Section.
The Option|Language menu sets the program for 1 or 2 byte font character sets. The particular font set is specified in the
Edit|SystemParameters/Editor Tab.
Note: The English version of EasyBuilder only supports single byte fonts as defined by EasyAsciiFontMaker.exe.
