Section 5 — Basic Configuration
Menu Top Line
The top line is identical in all the Karrera system menus:
• The left portion of the top line has three Quick-Link Tabs , which provide
access to other related Karrera menus.
• The center portion of the top line displays operations status messages.
• The right portion of the top line is an operator notification area, where
messages generated by the Karrera system are displayed.
Data Pads and Touch Buttons
Data pads are active areas on the screen that display a summary of the
status of an object, and when clicked or touched bring up additional con-
trols and information for that object.
Touch buttons are labeled by their function and do not display data.
Clicking or touching these buttons will immediately activate their function.
Touch buttons can control on/off functions, and have an indicator on the
left side, or they can select from a group of parameters, and turn light blue
to indicate the state of that parameter. For on/off buttons, green indicates
this is a normal parameter and that either an on or off state is typical.
Yellow indicates an active function that may change expected behavior.
Red indicates an active function which significantly changes normal
behavior.
Data Pads and Soft Knobs
Data pads on the right side of the screen allow adjusting parameters
with ranges of values. Left clicking or touching a data pad opens a
numeric keypad, allowing entry of a specific value.
When equipped with a Touch Screen Menu Panel, knobs along the
right side of the panel can be used to dial in parameter values for
functions displayed. When a knob is active, the touch screen shows
the parameter name and its current value on that data pad
(
Figure 47 ).
Menu Selection
Various Karrera system operating menus are selected using the menu
buttons at the bottom of the Menu panel touch screen. Menu category selec-
tion touch buttons are directly above the
Menu touch buttons. Touching one
of these buttons displays that category (see Figure 46 on page 87 ).
As each menu is accessed, a button for it appears in the scrolling History
pane on the left, providing a quick return to that menu. Favorites can also be
programmed for quick access to specific menus that are not overwritten.
