Menu selection
The numerical keypad is used for activating a menu and for entering
data. They are displayed differently depending on the operating
mode:
During setup, for example in Teach-in submode, the functions
are shown in a 9-field box, the menu window.
The meaning of the selected symbol / menu item is described in
the bottom line.
In other operating modes, the keypad symbol is shown with the
position of the function marked.
Press the corresponding numerical key, or move the highlight with
the arrow keys to the symbol on the screen and press the ENT key.
Soft keys
With some system functions, the available functions are
arranged on several soft-key levels
Some soft keys work like toggle switches.
A function is active when the associated field in the soft-key
row is highlighted in color. The setting remains in effect until
the function is switched off again.
With functions like Take over position, you do not have to enter
values manually.
The data are automatically written into the appropriate input
fields.
Data entries are not concluded until the Save or Input finished
soft key has been pressed
The Back soft key takes you back to the previous operating level
