MENUS
To Program the Soft Function Keys on the Operator Terminal
• Select Fkey Set Up from the Parameter menu.
• Enter the Mode number (up to 6 different modes or function key definitions are available).
• To assign a preprogrammed function to one of the function keys, select the function using the drop
down list box for each function key you want to define. (If not using a mouse, press TAB to get to
the desired drop down box, then press ALT+DOWN ARROW to open the box. Once the box is
opened, use the UP and DOWN ARROWS to scroll through the selections. To make a selection,
press the ALT+UP ARROW or ALT+DOWN ARROW to select the highlighted item.)
The functions shown in the drop down list box are Fkey programs. The Fkey programs are a subset
of the programs (programs 1 through 24) in the System Directory. (User programs are in the Pro-
gram Directory.) Some of the program numbers are blank when the ULTRA Plus or IQ is shipped.
The blank program numbers can still be assigned to a function key. This allows function key
assignments to be made and the programs created later.
• Enter the text label for each function key in the Fkey Text box. The text label is displayed above the
function keys on the Operator Terminal and can be up to 20 characters long (5 characters per Fkey).
• Choose the Update button to save the new function assignments for that mode, then select a new
mode using the Mode # box.

Choose the OK button to store the new function assignments and close the dialog box.
Serial
The Serial menu controls the serial communication parameters for the IQ. To set the serial parameters
for the PC, use PC Set Up under the Communications menu.
The parameters for Port 1 (Operator Terminal on P7) or Port 2 (Programming Terminal on P6) can be
set independently of each other.
After changing any settings, choose OK to store the new settings and close the dialog box. Choose Can-
cel to leave the dialog box without saving any changes.
Baud Rate
Baud Rate can be set to: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), or 19200..
Parity
Parity can be set to none (default), even, or odd.
Note: 1. The labels can be cleared by pressing the STATUS key, which calls up one of the status
displays.
2. The Fkeys that monitor a variable will display the variable selected on the screen until
the same Fkey is pressed a second time.
3. It is not necessary to assign a function to every Fkey.
Note: If any of the IQ serial parameters are changed, the new parameter settings will not take effect
until the next power-up or hard reset.
Note: The number of data bits in the IQ is fixed at eight. If parity is used, the parity bit will be the
eighth data bit. The number of data bits should be set to seven when using parity.
