Parts of a Screen

Many screens share common features. To
illustrate some of these features, we will examine
parts of the Backsight Setup screen, shown here.
You can access the Backsight Setup screen by
selecting



6XUYH\ , %DFNVLJKW 6HWXS from the

Main Menu.

Input Fields

An input field is an area where a specific value is entered by the user.
An input field consists of a point label, which identifies the data that
is to be entered in that field. It has a rectangular area with a white
background, where the data is entered. A field must first be selected
before data can be entered in it. You can select a field by tapping on
it or pressing the [Tab] key on the data collector repeatedly until it is
selected. When a field is selected, a dark border is drawn around it
and a blinking cursor is inside the field. In the Backsight Setup
screen above, the

Occupy Point

field is selected.

Output Fields

Output fields only display information. These fields typically display
values in

bold text

, do not have a special colored background, and the

value cannot be changed from the current screen. For example, in
the Backsight Setup screen, the

Backsight Circle

value is an output

field.

Power Buttons

The Backsight Setup screen contains two power buttons. Power
buttons are typically used to provide alternate methods of entering or
modifying data in an associated field. To use a power button, simply
tap it. Once tapped, a dropdown list will appear with several choices.
