Micro-PWC OPERATOR’S MANUAL

16 User Interface

The Help icon on the menu bar allows the user to access online, context sensitive system help, as well as
user generated user help.

2.4.6 Operator Window Operations

A maximum of four Operator Windows can be opened on each Micro-PWC. As windows are opened on the
screen, the size and location of each window and its contents are automatically adjusted to fit in the avail-
able space.

The Micro-PWC is designed to open one Operator Window automatically when the system is started, when
the Default Login state exists, or when a new user logs in (if no CRT Context has been assigned for that
user). The first Operator Window to be opened occupies the entire work area below the System and Mini-
Alarm Windows.

If a second Operator Window is opened, Operator Window #1 is resized to occupy the left half of the
screen; Operator Windows #1 and #2 are displayed side by side. The window contents are scaled to fit the
new size.

Operator Window #3 will occupy the lower left quadrant of the screen work area, with Operator Window #1
being resized and scaled to fit in the quadrant above it.

Operator Window #4 will occupy the lower right quadrant of the screen work area, with Operator Window
#2 being resized and scaled to fit in the quadrant above.

Although the initial size and location of each window are pre-determined, this can be modified by the oper-
ator, using the options available from the Window option on the Operator Window menu bar, or by using
the resize handles.

The windows can be restored to their original size and shape at any time by selecting Menu > Arrange
Windows
discussed in

Section 2.4.8, Arrange Windows Function

. This function can also be accessed by

pressing the

key on the keyboard.

2.4.6.1 Open an Operator Window

To open an Operator Window manually, the System Window must first have keyboard focus. From the
System Window, select Menu > Windows > Open New Window.

Selecting this option causes an Operator Window to be opened in the display area of the screen below the
Mini-Alarm Window.

2.4.6.2 Page Up/Page Down Operator Window Commands

The Window option on the menu bar provides Page Up and Page Down functions. These functions are
used to move through other pages of the display currently on view in the display area, such as pages of an
Alarm Review display. Page Down moves the user from a display with a lower page number to a display
with a higher page number; e.g., from Alarm Review page 1 to Alarm Review page 2. Page Up reverses
the process.

Page Up and Page Down can also be used to move through displays of the same type, such as the 1,000
Summary displays.

The same functionality is provided by the

2.4.6.3 Display Back/Display Forward

The Window option on the menu bar provides Display Back and Display Forward functions. These func-
tions are used to move backward and forward between the last 10 displays which have appeared in the
window, regardless of the display type. For example, a user might view a Group display, then a Point dis-
