Micro-PWC OPERATOR’S MANUAL
138 Utilities
11.12 CRT Context Keys
Each user can set up a personalized working environment or “context”, which can include multiple
Operator Windows and their contents, as well as the size and position of Quick Key keypads associated
with the Operator Windows. Different users have different contexts, depending on their area and responsi-
bilities, and each user may have a number of different contexts which are used repeatedly. Using the on-
screen CRT Context keypad saves time and effort by bypassing the numerous keystrokes necessary to
open multiple Operator Windows and call up the appropriate displays.
11.12.1 Preparing the Context
The size, location and contents of each Operator Window on a screen (CRT) can be stored and assigned
to a CRT Context Key. In order to assign this information, the user must first set up the working environ-
ment on a Micro-PWC. For example, a user might have two windows open on a screen: one in which a
sequence is being controlled and one containing an associated graphic. By assigning this set of displays to
a CRT Context Key, the user can return to this screen environment with ease by selecting the appropriate
CRT Context Key.
11.12.2 Initial Display Layout - Login Context Key
The Login Context Key is assigned as the user’s initial display layout, which appears automatically each
time the user logs in. If a user has no context assigned to the Login Context Key, the previous contents of
the screen remain after the user logs in. In the case of the Default User state (no user logged in) the initial
display layout consists of one Operator Window containing the System Status Display. The user can
change the contents of this window and increase the number of windows in the Default User initial layout;
clearing this layout will always cause it to return to the single Operator Window/System Status Display
combination.
11.12.3 Accessing CRT Context Keys
CRT Context Keys allow each user to save up to 17 working contexts (the Login Context key plus 16 addi-
tional keys) and assign each context to one individual key which appears on the screen. To access the
CRT Context Keys, from the System Window select Menu > Windows > CRT Context Keys. The CRT Con-
text Keys (
Figure 11-36 ) keypad will be displayed. This window contains the set of CRT Context Keys
available in the current user’s login configuration.
