2.4 General Operation
2.4.1 Display Elements
The Model 5600 uses a character display to depict information about the
current state of the system. The display can be broken down into four basic
elements: static fields, non-editable data fields, editable data fields, and
controls.
2.4.1.1 Static Fields
Static fields are elements on the display which do not change from moment
to moment. These can include screen titles and error messages.
2.4.1.2 Non-Editable Data Fields
Non-editable data fields are used mainly to display read back information,
such as laser current, voltage, etc. These fields can have a prefix or suffix
label, such as “
Io=
” or “
mA
”, and are periodically updated by the system.
2.4.1.3 Editable Data Fields
Editable data fields are used for laser and system settings such as current set
point, voltage limit, display contrast, etc. An editable field has three distinct
display states: focused, non-focused, and read-only.
The focused state indicates that the field has the input “focus.” When the
field has the focus, a right pointing arrow (
→
) is placed to the left of the
field. Any keyboard entry or dial adjustment will be applied to the field, and
only one field at a time on the display can have focus. Move between fields
using the up and down arrow keys.
The non-focused state indicates that the field is editable, but does not
currently have the focus. These fields are indicated with a right pointing
triangle (
) to the left of the field. Using the up and down arrows, focus can
be moved to these fields.
