3.2.1 Front Panel Pushbuttons
The front panel push buttons are repeated here from Section 1 because they are used in the engineering
mode display overlay examples to enter a key password, display a datapoint, and alter a datapoint.
To the right of the display is the vertical keypad and directly beneath the display is the horizontal keypad.
Both keypads have functioning push buttons that are dependent on the instrument mode of operation which
can be either operator mode or engineering mode. Mode selection is made with the Mode () push button
on the horizontal keypad. Engineering mode is entered to make the necessary selections for the operator
displays and to configure the Datalink port; otherwise, the instrument is left in operator mode for process
applications. The vertical keypad is dedicated only to engineering mode functions and has no effect in
operator mode. Both keypads are described as follows:
