STC-2000A DEPOSITION CONTROLLER

A fictitious representative section of the real I/O Programming menu tree on the following page is

presented here as an example. This menu segment is a pseudo composite representation of the first and
second in a series of 5 menus accessed through the EDIT/CHanGe path of the I/O SETUP menu. The
representation is meant to be like a flowchart. The longest horizontal line is the second screen level from
which all selections can be made. The dotted line on the right shows the entry point from the previous
screen (screens can only be traversed in one direction). The double ended arrows are meant to illustrate that
pressing the related key does not remove or modify the current screen (focus remains on the current
screen). Keys UNDO, AND, OR, XOR, DEL are examples of this. BAK returns to the CHanGe Key entry
point from any of the 5 change/edit screens. MORe x/5 invokes the next screen in the 5 screen sequence.
At the 5

screen, MORe 5/5 returns to the 1

of 5 screens.

Note: an unprogrammed unit will have only 1 line showing with the "END" line in the
edit window, therefore

↑, ↓, GOTO have only one location to which they can move,

that is list item #1. DEL (delete) is similar as the END line cannot be deleted. You
must insert lines to have other line locations. INS (insert) lines or CHG (change) the
END line. See figure 5.3 as an example of an unprogrammed unit.

Note

Fictitious commands ~ABC and ~XYZ have an associated number that must be entered before the

token is entered on the I/O program line (rung). The completed command entry would be something like
"~ABC 121". The ~ABC command flows into the box representing the number entry screen. From the
number entry screen, BAK will bring back the second screen level throwing out the entire command while
ENTer will accept the command and its associated number and place them on the edited line which is at the
second screen level. The BAK on the second screen level, returns to the menu point where the decision to
Edit/Change was made (one menu level up from the 5 Edit/Change menus).
