Function keys
Several function keys are active while you’re in full-screen mode:
Function Key: Description:
F1 turns on echo mode". In echo mode, all inputs are copied to the corresponding
outputs. By attaching I/O Simulator Modules (cat. no. 1771ĆSIM), which have
both input toggle switches and output indicator lights, you can verify by eye that
inputs and outputs are properly addressed. Echo mode" overwrites any output
value you enter into an output location. If echo mode" is on and you set an
output, it is immediately changed to reflect the state of the corresponding input.
However, if an output has been set to count, it continues to count regardless of
the state of echo mode."
F2 turns off echo mode.
F3 starts a background count in the currently highlighted output group, beginning
with the current value. (To start counting from zero, press the three keys
0,
Enter,
and
F3
in succession.) The background count overrides echo mode for
this group, and continues in this group even after you move the highlight block to
another group. You can start multiple groups all counting in background by
successively moving the highlight block to each and pressing
F3
. If you change
an output value while that group is engaged in background count, the count
continues from the new value.
F4 turns off the background count in the currently highlighted group. If echo mode
(F1 key) is selected, the current input is copied to output immediately.
F9 displays the values of the currently highlighted I/O group in binary. The binary
display is static, and is not updated by entry of an output value, by changed input,
by echo mode, or by background count; but you can reĆpress F9 to display
current values in binary. (If you enter a new output value, it must still be in hex.)
The binary display disappears when you press Enter, a cursor key, or a function
key.
F10 clears the output image table, turns echo mode off, and turns off all background
counts.
Management Requests
For all management requests, the program prompts you for any necessary
data, queues the request, waits for a confirmation from the scanner (or until
the program decides the request has timed out), and displays the results.
The requests are listed in the remainder of this section.
