The cursor shows the user which fields are changeable on a data entry screen.
Display Area is the part of the LCD display that shows system information. The display area will
vary in size depending on whether a large character or small character screen is being viewed.
Fields are places where the user enters control parameters.
Highlight is when the letters appear light on a dark background instead of dark on a light back-
ground. The highlighted area may flash from light to dark to stress its importance and to gain the
user’s immediate attention.
Hot Keys are the top-level system functions and menus. The hot keys are located in a column to the
left of the Display area.
Large Character Screens are screens that use large, double high characters and also contain the
title banner and hot keys.

screen. This screen will also contain the alarm status, mode, and state of the system.

tary screens, information screens, access screens, and log screens

information. These screens do not display the system hot keys.
Toggle is the process of moving from one selectable choice to the next by using the ENTER key.
