PROGRAMMING
THE PC4010
The PC4010 incorporates a new method of programming which uses a menu system to find a specific program location
when it is to be entered.
Book 3 contains the programming flow charts for the PC4010. The charts are arranged in such a way as to allow you to
quickly find any option and the path required to arrive at the program location. In addition you will be able to see other
options also available to you in the program area.
Plain boxes are program areas and shaded boxes are menu selections.
Two methods may be used to select the different menu items to arrive at a program location. With the first, you may use
the arrow keys (< >) to scroll through the menu items. When the desired item is displayed press the [Q] key. The [Q] key
is used as an ‘ENTER’ or ‘SELECT’ key. The panel will then move you to the next set of options.
The other method incorporates a ‘HOTKEY’ system. Every menu and program item contains a one or two digit ‘HOTKEY’
entry. Simply press the number(s) in the menu or program box and the panel will automatically select the item for you.
DO NOT PRESS THE [Q] AFTER ENTERING THE ‘HOTKEY’ NUMBER. This second method is much quicker once you
become familiar with it.
EXAMPLE: We wish to program the Exit Delay for Partition 4. The following is the flow chart located in Book 3.

Scroll to desired option using
(0) the [<][>] keys and press [Q].

EXIT DELAY

Using the first method the arrow keys would have to be pressed many times to scroll to the various items followed by the
[Q] key to select the item. Twelve keystrokes would be required after entering Installer Programming providing no
mistakes are made. The keystrokes required are as follows:
[>], [Q] to select PARTITION AREA [>], [>], [Q] to select PARTITION TIMES
[Q] to select ADD/EDIT PAR [>], [Q] to select EXIT DELAY
[>], [>], [>], [Q]to select to PARTITION 4
Using the second ‘HOTKEY’ method we require only 5 keystrokes:
[1] to select PARTITION AREA [2] to select PARTITION TIMES
[0] to select ADD/EDIT PAR [1] to select EXIT DELAY
[4] to select PARTITION 4
With less keystrokes required, programming is quicker as there is less chance of an error occurring.
At any time you may press the [#] key to exit a section. ANY DATA ENTERED WILL BE CHANGED. THE [#] KEY IS NOT
AN ABORT KEY! The [#] key can also be pressed to move you back to the previous menu. Pressing the [#] key several
times will exit you from Installer Programming.
To make programming easier the INDEX at the back of the Programming Manual includes the chart number beside every
option as well as the page number for a description of the option.
Programming Toggle Options
Some program areas contain several toggle options which pertain to the menu item selected. Use the arrow keys (<>) to
scroll through the various items. Press the [Q] key to toggle between [Y]es and [N]o for each feature. Once all the toggle
options have been programmed press the [#] key to save your changes and return to the previous menu.
Programming HEX Digits
Often HEX digits are required for a program item. When a HEX digit is required press the [Q] key to enter the HEX menu.
You may use the arrow keys to scroll through the HEX digits (A through F) and when the desired letter is displayed press
the [Q] key.
Another much quicker method for entering HEX digits is to, first, press the [Q] key followed by the number corresponding
to the HEX letter i.e. A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, up to F = 6. The [Q] key must be pressed before entering each HEX digit as the
software returns you to decimal programming automatically after each entry.
EXAMPLE: To enter data ‘ABCD’ on a PC4010 you would enter:
[Q], [1], [Q], [2], [Q], [3], [Q], [4]
Note: The [Q] key is required before every HEX digit entered.
