Preface

P–4

Publication 2711E-818 – January 1998

The term PanelBuilder refers to PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration
Software for Windows. Where confusion may arise between the
current and previous versions of the software, the current release of
the software is “PanelBuilder 1400e, Version 4.”

Similarly, the terms terminal and PanelView terminal refer to a
PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e terminal, or enhanced PanelView
1200 Series F and G terminals. Where confusion may arise between
the 1200e and 1400e terminals and previous revisions, specific series
and revision names are used.

The terms programmable controller and PLC refer to the
Allen-Bradley line of Programmable Logic Controllers or any other
controlling device.

Information is provided in a consistent way throughout the entire
PanelBuilder user documentation set. There are mouse selection,
shortcut key, and command conventions. Unless otherwise stated, all
dialog boxes and windows are captured in Windows NT.

Mouse Conventions

You can use a mouse with one or two buttons. This manual assumes
that if you have a multiple-button mouse, the left mouse button is
configured as the primary mouse button. Procedures that require you
to click a secondary button refer to it as the right mouse button.
