II-4 Engineering tool operation
II-4.1 Fundamentals of the engineering tool operation
For operation of the engineering tool, basic knowledge of the Windows operating system is an advantage. Unless you
have this knowledge, please, make familiar with Windows first before executing the program for the first time. This is
possible using the Windows manual, the Windows on-line help and the Windows learning program.
q
For all questions in connection with the engineering tool, the KS 98-1 ONLINE HELP
(key F1) is available (r Menu Help).
Press the F1 key with the function marked or with the parameter dialogue opened to start
the on-line operating instructions (only possible with the Acrobat reader on the computer installed)

Before making changes to the engineering, the engineering must be stored, since changes cannot be can -
celed automatically!
The two operating modes are distinguished by the mouse pointer display (hand symbol / arrow symbol). These two mo -
des are described in the following sections. Switch-over is by double-click with the left mouse key or via ‘Menu’ r
‘Edit’ r ‘Positioning’/’Wiring’.
II-4.2 Function block placement
A function can be selected either via menu bar ‘Functions’ or ‘Fixed functions’, or by
entry of the function name in capital letters. With the engineering tool in the place -
ment mode (mouse pointer is a hand symbol), the name of the instantaneously se -
lected function is displayed in the bottommost status line.
By clicking with the right mouse key, the selected function is placed in the actual
mouse pointer position.
II-4.3 Function block shifting
After clicking with the mouse pointer on a function block, the mouse pointer is displayed inversely ( r see Fig.:78) and
can now be shifted either by means of the cursor keys or using the mouse (keep left mouse key pressed). The linked
connection lines are dragged. Clicking with the right mouse key with inverse display of the function block opens the
parameter dialogue of this function (r see also page 61). Shifting several function blocks simultaneously is possible
only in the survey display (‘Edit’ r ‘Survey’ or by pressing key ‘a’).
Procedure:
Calling up the survey (key ‘a’).
Use the mouse pointer to draw a window
across the function blocks which are to
be shifted.
Use the cursor keys or left mouse key to
shift the selected area.
Only the function blocks which are fully
covered by the marking will be shifted.
