1.1.1 Data Input Keyboard
In case of a 9" monitor directly beneath the screen are five softkeys, in case of a 15" monitor
ten softkeys built together with the screen. In both cases the meaning of these softkeys can be
read in the menu bars found in the bottom line of screen, therefore their meanings may alter.
However it is likely, that in some right-side menu bar there are no captions. This can only
mean, that in that situation the softkeys have no function at all.
To the left of the first softkey is the
screen menu key , while to the right of the last softkey is the
action menu key . The meaning of these keys is permanent and serve for changing
the meaning of softkeys.
The data- input keyboard may be found beneath or to the right of the monitor. The LED “NC
ready” is placed on the data- input keyboard.
The main key groups found on data input keyboard are as follows::
Delete keys:
RESET for deleting global and
CANCEL for deleting local messages.
