Operating the Control
2-5
You access the various software features and functions of the control
through softkeys. Softkeys are the row of 7 keys located at the bottom of
the CRT as shown in Figure 2.3. They let you move through the control’s
software. The control displays the function of each softkey on the CRT
directly above the softkey. In this manual, softkey names appear between
the { } symbols.

In this manual, we often describe softkeys as being on a certain level, e.g.,
softkey level 3. We use the level of the softkey to determine the location
or necessary path to reach that particular softkey. For example, to get to a
softkey on level 3, you must press a specific softkey on level 1, followed
by a specific softkey on level 2. For a listing of all of the softkeys and
their respective levels, see appendix A.
Softkey level 1 is the initial softkey level the control displays at power-up.
Softkey level 1 always remains the same, and all other levels are
referenced from softkey level 1.
The softkeys on opposite ends of the softkey row have a specific use that
remains standard throughout the different softkey levels. On the left is the
exit softkey displayed with the up arrow {
↑
}, and on the right is the
continue softkey displayed with the right arrow {
→
}.
