Menu selection

The numerical keypad is used for activating a menu and for entering
data. The menu items are presented as a 9-field box. Each field of this
symbol corresponds to the numerical key that is located at the same
position on the numerical keypad. The functions, cycles, tools, etc. are
displayed as symbols. The meaning of the selected symbol / menu
item is described in the footer.

Press the corresponding numerical key, or move the highlight with the
arrow keys to the symbol on the screen and press the ENTER key.

Soft keys

„

With some system functions, the available functions are arranged
on several soft-key levels.

„

Some soft keys work like "toggle switches." A function is active
when the associated field in the soft-key row is highlighted in color.
The setting remains in effect until the function is disabled again.

„

With functions like Take over position you do not have to enter
values manually. The data are automatically written into the
appropriate input fields.

„

Data entries are not concluded until the Save or Input finished soft
key has been pressed.

„

The Back soft key takes you back to the previous operating level.

The Process key can only be used when the main menu of
the current operating mode is active. You reach the main
menu with Back or with the “Menu” key.
