6-2 Creating Menu and Sub-Menu Screens
Building a Menu When you build a menu, you are directing the operator to more
specific screens. A menu is a numbered list of components available
at the current stage of a process. Number each successive menu entry
sequentially. The number tells the operator which MicroView keypad
key ([1] through [8]) to press for each menu item (1 through 8).
The following example shows the menu structure of a MicroView
application. The operator uses the MicroView numeric keypad keys to
select a menu item. Pressing [1] on the keypad selects the Pump Status
screen. Screen #11 is linked to keypad key [1] on the MicroView while
this menu is displayed. Pressing keypad key [2] on the MicroView
displays another menu which has different links assigned to keypad
keys [1] and [2].
To assign menu text, position the cursor at the location you want the
list to begin and enter text.
Screens can’t be linked to MicroView keypad keys ([1] – [8]) until you
have first created the screens. After creating your application screens,
you can return to the menu screens and assign the links, refer to
Chapter 11.
