Using the HP DTC Manager/UX

Using the dtcconﬁg menus

Using the dtcconfig menus

The DTC conﬁguration tool (dtcconﬁg) provides menus, ﬁelds, and function keys to

help you conﬁgure your DTC devices. It has three types of menus:

• Main menu: used to access other menus and functions.

• Actions menu: provides you with a selection of possible actions you can take

from the current screen.

• Data acquisition menu: provides you with a list of possible field values. This

menu is displayed by pressing the Help (F1) function key.

You can select a menu item in one of two ways:

• Use the arrow keys or Tab to move from one item to the next. Once the desired

menu item is highlighted: press Return, or the Select Item or Select Action (F4)

function key to start the operation.

• Type the first character of the menu item (for example, a for Add DTC

Conﬁguration). The DTC manager immediately executes the command

associated with that letter (you do not have to press Return). If several options

start with the same letter, enter the letters of the option until it is unique (for

example, con for the Configure option and cop for the Copy function). This

abbreviated method does not work when selecting from a list of valid field options

such as found in a HELP screen.

If you enter an incorrect value for a ﬁeld, an error message window appears. Read

the message and press the space bar to return to the screen and to correct the entry.

The following keyboard keys are used to enter information at the various dtcconﬁg

screens:

• Tab and arrow keys. If the Tab key does not let you move to another field, try

using the arrow key.

• Space bar. When an error message is displayed, you must press the space bar to

continue.

• Function keys. Explained in the next section, function keys vary for different

screens.

• Return key, Perform Task (F4), and Done (F4) function keys. Read the pop-

up window message or look at the bottom of the screen to know which of these

keys to press.
