Assigning Bit Write Functions 16–5
You can link the DTAM Micro function keys F1 through F8 to the following
screens depending upon whether or not Auto Return is enabled.
Auto Return Enabled? Function keys can be assigned to these screen types:
Yes Data Display, Data Entry, Recipe
No Menu, Sub-Menu, Data Display, Data Entry, Security, Recipe
Pressing an assigned function key displays the function key number for
approximately 0.5 seconds and then the assigned screen. There are two
function key modes:
•
Auto Return
•
Continue
Auto Return
Auto return function keys return to the initial display after the linked screen
is executed. For example, assume that an application is displaying screen #6
and an auto return function key F3 is linked to a recipe screen #10. When
F3 is pressed, the recipe screen #10 is displayed. After the operator
downloads a new recipe on screen #10, the initial screen #6 is displayed.
The following table describes when the return to the initial screen occurs.
Function Key Linked To: Returns to Initial Screen After:
Data Display Screen [ ] , [PREV], or [NEXT] keys are pressed
Data Entry Screen A value is entered or
[PREV] or [NEXT] keys are pressed ➀
Recipe Screen Recipe data is downloaded or
[PREV], or [NEXT] keys are pressed ➀
➀ [PREV] and [NEXT] abort the operation.
