6.11 Control at the Menu Tree Level
6.11.1 Navigation in the Menu Tree
Folders and Function Groups
All data points are organized in different folders based on practical control
requirements.
At the root of the menu tree is the unit type; the tree branches into the three
main folders “Settings”, “Measurements & Tests” and “Fault & Event Records”,
which form the first folder level. Up to two further folder levels follow so that the
entire folder structure consists of three main branches and a maximum of three
folder levels.
At the end of each branch of folders are the various function groups in which the
individual data points (settings) are combined.
