Password Screen 39
Field Types Each screen is made up of fields. The two basic field types are user-selectable and
display only. If the highlighted cursor can be moved to a field, it is a
user-selectable field. All other fields are for display only. User-selectable fields
allow for changes to be made or commands to be executed.
Fields without brackets or parenthesis are display only. They cannot be changed on
the screen. Most user-selectable fields are enclosed in brackets or parenthesis and
are described in the following paragraphs.
Fields enclosed in brackets [ ] offer the user a list of selections. The selections
may be toggled by pressing the spacebar. Each time it is pressed, a new item
appears. When the appropriate choice is displayed, press return to select it.
Manipulate fields enclosed in parenthesis ( ) by either of the following methods:
✦ Pressing Enter on such fields as (Reset) and (Start Test) simply execute the
function.
✦ The most common type of field in parenthesis accepts alphanumeric characters.
Typing characters when the field is highlighted causes new characters to replace
the current entry. To edit an existing entry rather than replace it, press the right
arrow key to move the cursor to the point that needs editing. Characters may then
be inserted or deleted. Typed data is always inserted rather than typed over. If the
field is full, though, at least one character must be deleted to add another.
Many fields of this type may also be toggled by pressing the spacebar. Other fields
are range checked, where the user is not allowed to exit with an illegal value set.
Any screen may be redisplayed (or refreshed) by pressing Control+U. Any changes to fields
on a screen, that have not been activated by pressing Enter, are discarded.
Password
Screen In the 3060-10, if no password has been programmed the password prompt does
not appear and the 3060-10 proceeds directly to the menu system. The 3060 -10 is
shipped without a programmed password. The process of setting a password is
described on page 63. Figure 4-1 on page 36 shows a password screen.
Main Menu
Screen The Main Menu screen (Figure 4-2) lists the functional user-accessible menus. To
activate any menu, highlight the desired selection and press Enter. This menu and
any subsequent menu may be exited by pressing Escape. If the Main Menu is
exited, the terminal interface program terminates. This is a valid way to end a user
session. If any other menu is exited, the previous screen is returned.
