II-6 Tips and tricks
II-6.1 Function keys
Calling up the help ...
- General descriptions of the ET/KS 98 operating principle
- Survey and description of the library functions (with the function block selected or the
parameter dialog box opened). Prerequisite: The checkbox for help must have been clicked during installation.
Calling the password dialog
Comparison of the engineerings in KS 98-1 and ET is started.
Debug mode is activated
KS 98-1 or SIM/KS 98-1 must be connected!
Search line overlapping
During the wiring mode, line overlappings are searched. The first overlap-
ping is displayed (shown marked). In the upper left
corner of the screen, either Acount=0" (result negative) or
Acount=1" is displayed.
Search all line overlappings
The overall engineering is searched for operlappings.
Overlappings found are displayed shortly on the screen, but only the last
overlapping found is displayed continuously.
Unify adjacent lines
Lines which belong to one connection, with only a few parallel
pixels, can be unified with F7. Thereby, a line segment must be selected.
(Shifting using the mouse may be not pixel-exact,
however, exact superposition is also possible by means of the
arrow keys.)
Line colour / -type of logic connections
On the screen, distinction of analog and logic connections is easier in colour. In a print-out (black and white), dis-
tinction by a dashed line is better for clarity. Switch-over is always possible by pressing F9.
Cursor toggling between engineering
i menu bar.
Menu operation with the arrow keys is now possible (if e.g. the mouse is not available). Function corresponds to
key
.
Create standard connection
Connections of two dots are drawn automatically as short as possible at
right angles (standard connection) and can be edited manually. F11 trans-
forms a selected edited connection into a standard connection.
Language selection
Language selection (German/English) for the engineering tool operator interface (menus, dialog boxes, etc.) is
possible during working in the main menu. However, the language of help texts for KS 98-1 functions can be se-
lected only during installation!
