3.3 FRONT PANEL PUSH BUTTONS

The front panel push buttons are repeated here from Section 1 because they are used in the engi-
neering mode display overlay examples to enter a key password, display a datapoint, and alter a
datapoint.

To the right of the display is the vertical keypad and directly beneath the display is the horizontal
keypad
. Both keypads have functioning push buttons that are dependent on the instrument mode
of operation which can be either operator mode or engineering mode. Mode selection is made
with the Mode (

) push button on the horizontal keypad. Engineering mode is entered to make the

necessary selections for the operator displays and to configure the Datalink port; otherwise, the in-
strument is left in operator mode for process applications. The vertical keypad is dedicated only to
engineering mode functions and has no effect in operator mode. Both keypads are described as
follows:
