Menu Navigation

The UniLinc

The front-end control allows the user to control
machine operation by pressing keypads to select
options on the display menus and by navigating
between display menus.

The control has four ways to navigate to program, edit,
and select items in menus

Menu Navigation on a Single Screen

The Menu Navigation on a single screen displays a list
of items arranged either left to right and/or top to
bottom on the screen. A highlighted box shows the
selected item in the menu. Press the directional arrow
keypads to move the highlighted box between choices.

Press the

keypad to select an item. Press

the

keypad to turn an item on or off.

NOTE: In Cycle Menu, the highlighted box
remains in the center, and the cycles scroll as the
directional keypads are pressed.

Menu Navigation with Parameters

Another type of menu similar is a menu with

modifiable parameters. The

and

keypads

are used to navigate through the screens. The

and

keypads are used to change the valve of the

highlighted item.

An example is the Temperature Menu under Global
Setup. The menu items are positioned vertically, but

the

and

keypads are used to navigate

through the different items while the

and

keypads are used to adjust the values.

Screen to Screen Navigation using
the Arrow Keypads

In Screen to Screen Navigation, the

or

keypad are used to go from one menu page to the next
(i.e., moving from Alarms [1 of 3] Menu to Alarms
[2 of 3] or Alarms [3 of 3] menus), if a menu cannot fit
entirely on the same page. The Laundry Management
Menu uses this navigation method.

Navigation

The Edit Mode is used when a letter or numeric value
has to be modified or created. The highlighted box is

moved over the editable item and the

keypad is

pressed. The mode can be verified by seeing the first
character in the item with a blinking underscore
underneath. The character can then be changed by

using the

and

keypads.

For example, the Cycle Name can contain the capital
letters “A” through “Z”, small letters “a” through “z”,
the numbers “0” through “9”, and special characters.
The user can go forward to the next character in the

item by using the

keypad. Press the

keypad to go backward a character. If the first

character in the item is selected and the

keypad

is pressed, the cursor will go to the last character of the
item. Thus, the cursor will move only within the item
when the horizontal keypads are pressed.

Another example of the edit mode is when the user is
programming the time. In the edit mode when
programming a time, the only characters that can be

selected are “0” through “9” when using the

or

keypad.
