Maple Systems MAPware-100 - Manual (Page 10)

OPERATION
Since MAPware 100 has been designed to run under the Microsoft Windows environment, it
conforms to the Windows user interface standard. Many of the tools on the tool bar are
identical to other software packages such as Microsoft Word and Excel. The pull down
menus all operate according to the Windows standard, they may be selected using the mouse
or through the appropriate Alt sequence (i.e. Alt+F for the File menu).
As with many Windows programs, depending on the options selected at any one time, some
functions are no longer valid. These functions are deselected or grayed out so that they are
not accessible when their use is not appropriate. For example, on the main MAPware 100
dialog box, if the Chain check box is selected in the Extensions group box the Message box is
activated. If the Chain check box is disabled, the Message box is grayed out.
The illustration below outlines the major features of the main MAPware 100 dialog box:
• Title Bar: Identifies the file name for the current project.
• Menu Bar: Provides pull-down menus for accessing functions (pg. 10).
• Tool Bar: Provides buttons that can be used as shortcuts to choosing functions from the
menus (pg. 10).
• OIT Identification: Identifies the OIT model selected for the current project (pg. 28).
• PLC Identification: Identifies the PLC model the OIT is being configured to work with
for the current project (pg. 28).
• Message Editor: Area used to enter OIT text and register monitors for each stored
message (pg. 29).
• Message Scroll Bar: Scrolls through the stored messages (pg. 29).
• General Option Group Box: Grouping of options that can be applied to stored messages
(pg. 29).
• OIT Memory Used Group Box: Indicates the amount of OIT configuration memory
remaining and the correct date and time. (pg. 30)
