Operation
5.4 System Prompts
Executing functions and changing parameters on the 7200 ACS are made simple
with the use of system prompts. For example, if a user wishes to change the
parameter E. Longitude of site [deg] shown in Figure 5-4 above, the system will
prompt the user with the allowable range of values when this parameter is selected
to be edited. Figure 5-6 shows the screen that will appear when the cursor is
placed over the parameter and the [ENTER] key is pressed.

5.4.1 Error Messages for Incorrect Entries
The 7200 ACS not only provides value ranges in system prompts when the user is
editing parameters, but it also provides error messages when an out-of-range value
is entered. For example, if the user is editing the parameter shown in Figure 5-6
above and enters a value of 365.000000, the following system prompt will
appear:
Your entry 365.000000 is too high.
Enter a real number between -360.000000 and 360.000000.
Press [ENTER] to continue.
