4.1.4 Instrument
dialog
The instrument dialog of the 788 IC Filtration Sample Processor is or-
ganized in the form of so-called rolling inquiries which are arranged in
menu levels in a hierarchical manner and are subject to the following
rules:
Main menu
The function keys <CONFIG>, <PARAM> and <USER METHOD> of
the 788 IC Filtration Sample Processor open a main menu whose the-
matically arranged submenus are selected by repeated pressing of this
key or with <Ð>. The name of the key always appears in the top line of
the display.
Submenu
Each submenu has a title marked by
"
>
"
which appears in the bottom
line of the display. <ENTER> is used to move from the title to the indi-
vidual inquiries, which are used to change the most important settings
of the instrument. The top line of the display always shows the title of
the active submenu.
Navigating within the menus is accomplished with the cursor keys;
<HOME> jumps to the first, <END> to the last menu line.
<QUIT> exits the active menu, opens the next highest menu level or
returns to the normal state.
<ENTER> either opens a submenu or confirms data entry at the low-
ermost menu level.
Inquiries
In inquiries without
"
:
"
, the values must be entered using the numeric
keys. <ENTER> is used to accept the inputted value and the next in-
quiry appears.
In the case of inquiries with
"
:
"
, the admissible values can be selected
with the <SELECT> key>. <ENTER> is used to accept the set value
and the next inquiry appears.
Depending on the parameter, <CLEAR> is used to reset the displayed
value to the smallest possible value or the default value. The <CLEAR>
key also serves to abort wrong entries.
<QUIT> is used to quit the inquiries and return to the main menu.
