6.1.3 COM Screen Layout and Operation
The COM software is operated exclusively via screens and softkey menus.
The softkey menus display the possible branches and functions that can be
triggered by the function keys F1 to F8.
The four cursor keys (arrow keys left, right, up, down) are used to position
the cursor within a screen. The input fields in the screens are completed
using the ASCII keyboard. The OK key validates the string you have input.
The cancel or ESC key returns you to the previous screen or aborts the
currently active function.
The line on the screen above the softkeys is the message line. Here, the
PG displays warnings, errors, operating instructions etc. A message
remains displayed until you press a key.
