In cases where a device must be entered on more than one table, the Con-
figuration editor will automatically copy (or offer as a selectable item) the
data entered on the “initial entry” table to all “secondary” tables. Entering
information in the same order as the tables appear on the Select Panel (left
side of the screen) will therefore eliminate most repeat entries. For example,
when the Name of a Frame Processor is entered on the Network Descrip-
tion table, the same name will be available as a selection on the Channel
Setup table.

Note

You must enter data on the primary table before entering data on the sec-
ondary tables. For example, you must enter a new Processor on the Network
Description table before it will be available for selection in other tables.

When certain items are modified, the editor will automatically modify,
when appropriate, the corresponding selections on other tables. For
example, if the name of an input is changed on the Input table, the new
name will be available as a selection on the Quick Pick table.

Find Text

Each table includes a "Find Text" button, which can be used to search for a
text string in the selected table.

Cursor Movement

The cursor can be moved using the keys on the PC’s keyboard.

To move to the preferred field, use the mouse, cursor keys, TAB, or
SHIFT+TAB.

To accept the change and then move to the next field, press TAB.

To jump to the boundaries of a table, press HOME, CTRL+ HOME,
END, or CTRL+END. You can’t send the cursor to a read-only field.

To scroll to the top or bottom of a long table, press PAGE UP or PAGE
DOWN. You can also “drag” the scroll box by clicking in the scroll bar,
or by clicking and then holding on the scroll arrows.

To create a new row at the bottom of a table, press INSERT, or move the
cursor to the last row and then press ENTER.

Entry/Edit Within a Table

When a field requires a selection to be made from a fixed list, clicking on
the drop-down arrow will show the available choices (or press SPACE BAR
or ALT+DOWN). Click on the preferred choice. (You can also enter the first
letter in the list item name; enter the letter again to move to the next item
that starts with that letter, then press TAB to move to the next field.)

In some cases, spaces are not allowed

. In tables where this is the case, the

editor will not allow them to be entered.
