The following conventions are used in this manual:
•
All menus and screens reproduced in this manual are approximate
renderings of what you will see on your terminal screen. Allen-Bradley
reserves the right to make minor modifications to any menu or screen to
help improve performance.
•
A symbol or word in brackets represents a single key that you press.
These include keys such as
[A] or [Del] . Since the Dataliner can be
programmed with a variety of keyboards or terminals, the printing on
your keyboard may be different from the symbol or word indicated in
brackets. This manual uses
↵
to specify the carriage return function of a
keyboard. On your keyboard this may correspond to an [ENTER] ,
↵
, or
[Rtrn] key.
•
The up caret, ^ , is the symbol for a control character. Example: ^ W is the
symbol for a Control W character. On most computers this character is
entered by pressing
[Ctrl] and [W] simultaneously.

In the following chapters we will refer to the Dataliner DL40 Series
Message Display as the DL40.
