4.2 Using the Software
Once the PT-210 program is launched, a configuration screen will appear on the display. The
configuration screen provides quick access to configuration components and also allows the
operator to review configuration settings prior to programming operations.
The configuration screen contains three distinct sections:
• Input Selector
• Menu Bar
• Programming Parameters
4.3 Input Selector
In the lower right-hand corner of the configuration screen is an up-arrow icon. Tapping the up-
arrow icon produces a pop-up menu list displaying available character input methods. This menu
allows the operator to change and alter the input method for the PT-210 configuration screen.
Once the input method has been selected, the icon next to the up-arrow icon will change to
reflect the selection. Tapping this icon will invoke the selected input method.
The recommended input method for the PT-210M configuration screen is keyboard. This
method produces a virtual keyboard that resembles a typical PC keyboard and is used for entering
alpha-numeric data into various fields within the configuration screen.
For specific information on the other types of input methods, please refer to the TDS Recon
manual.
