OPERATION
3.1 OVERVIEW
The KPA 900 provides a standard Windows interface. The controls, such as the command
buttons, option buttons, increase/decrease controls, scroll bars, and menu controls are
consistent in operation with any standard Windows program. There are various forms that
may be used by the KPA 900. When a different form is necessary in response to the user's
actions, it is displayed. When the user has completed using the form, it is removed.
3.2 KPA 900 DISPLAY VERSUS CM 2000 CONTENTS
The KPA 900 software and this Operator's Manual describe activities from the perspective
of the form displayed on the Personal Computer, rather than from the manipulation of the
contents of the CM 2000. When the user loads files or changes parameters, the activity
log indicates the action followed by either "…displayed in the KPA 900" or "changed to
XXXX in the KPA 900." The parameters are not programmed into the CM 2000 until the
Write To CM 2000 option from the Tools menu is run. This causes the activity log to
indicate "KPA 900 displayed parameters are being programmed into CM 2000." The
KPA 900 display and the CM 2000 contents are only synchronized when the log
statement "CM 2000 read and verified to be in agreement with KPA 900 displayed
parameters" is displayed.
