fields are multi-choice fields, such as Yes/No fields. Both types are changed with the
left and right arrows or the knob.
2.4.1.4 Soft Keys
Soft key labels are labels for the two gray buttons located to the immediate right of
the display. Each label either indicates the action that is performed when the
corresponding key is pressed (such as changing screens), or the state of a data
element in the system (such as laser PD zero). In the first case, pressing the
corresponding soft key will cause the action to happen, such as changing to the setup
screen when the
Setup
soft key is pressed from a module’s main screen. In the
second case, pressing the soft key will change the associated state, such as setting the
laser’s PD zero value.
Like the editable data fields above, certain soft keys are programmed to enter a
“display-only” mode when the unit enters remote mode. Display-only soft keys are
displayed in lower case, and will not function until the unit returns to local mode.
On some screens, such as the main menu, there are more than two soft key selections.
In this case, the active soft keys have a left pointing arrow (←) to the right of the soft
key label. Pressing the
SHIFT
key will toggle between the outer and inner two soft
keys.
