Getting Started

Returning to the Main Menu

Most functions (except Run) will return you to the main menu when they
have been completed. However, you can return to the main menu at any
time by simply pressing the [Esc] key three consecutive times. When
executed from the Run or Special Functions Modes, this will return you to
the RUN? prompt of the main menu. However, when in the Edit Mode
pressing the [Esc] key three consecutive times will return you to the Edit?
prompt of the Main Menu. You will not lose any data or messages that have
been previously entered when you press the [Esc] key.

Using the Control Key

To access certain special functions of the DL5, you may be required to use
the [Ctrl] key in conjunction with another key. There are some variations in
how you use the control key depending upon the type of terminal or
computer you are using to program the DL5. Most terminals or computers
will require you to hold down the [Ctrl] key and then press a second key.

Note: If you are using an Allen-Bradley Industrial Terminal (Catalog No.
1771-T1, -T2, -T3, or -T4), you must press and release the [Ctrl] key prior
to pressing the next key.
