Programming

Overview

This chapter provides a basic understanding of the programming
keypad built into the SMC Dialog Plus controller. This chapter also
describes programming the controller by modifying the parameters.

Keypad Description

The keys found on the front of the SMC Dialog Plus controller are
described below.

Programming Menu

Parameters are organized in a four-level menu structure for
straightforward programming. Figure 4.1 details the programming
menu structure and the four-level hierarchy.

Escape

Pressing the Escape key causes the programming system
to move up one level in the menu structure.

Select

The Select key has two functions:

Pressing the Select key alternately causes the top or
bottom line of the display to become active (indicated
by flashing first character).

In parameter modification with series A FRN 3.00 or
greater and series B human interface modules,
Select moves the cursor from the least significant
digit to the most significant.

Up/Down
Arrows

These keys are used to increment and decrement a
parameter value or to scroll through the different modes,
groups, and parameters.

Enter

When pressed, a mode or group will be selected, or a
parameter value will be entered into memory. After a
parameter value has been entered into memory, the top
line of display will automatically become active, allowing
the user to scroll to the next parameter.
