KEYBOARD AND DISPLAY

The display is a 4 line by 20 characters liquid cristal
display mounted at an angle to the face of the Commu-
nicator to increase readability. The first two lines of the
display are dedicated to data or messages for the user.
The botton two lines of the display are used for labelling
the function keys, as shown in the figure below.

The keyboard is comprised of 25 keys arranged in 3
functional groups.
Located below the LCD display is a group of 4 program-
mable function keys ("softkeys") labelled F1 - F4. The
definition of these keys varies based on the operation
the user is trying to perform. The function of each key is
defined by the corresponding label displayed by the
LCD above.
At the bottom of the Communicator there is a group of
12 keys used for the entry of numeric data and letters,
along with a decimal point ( . ) and a change sign, i.e.
( +/- ) keys.
There is a group of nine dedicated function keys
located on the face of the Communicator. Two keys are
dedicated to turning the Communicator ON or OFF.
Two other keys assist in keyboard entry ( ENTER ) and
returning to the previous menu ( ESCAPE ). The
remaining keys in the group are associated with
transmitter functions. A more detailed description of the
dedicated keys is presented below.
Monitor the process variables and output
current values of the transmitter. The Com-
PV
municator continuously updates the display
with this information approximately twice per
second. Additional functions available through
the use of this key may, depending on the
transmitter, include monitoring the sensor
temperature or static pressure.
Review the connected transmitter's databa-
se. This information includes: output para-
REVIEW
meters; revision info; other miscellaneous
info. Use of this key does not give the user the
ability to change any information. To make
changes the user must use the CONF key.
Configure or edit the transmitter's database.
The user is allowed to specify output parame-
CONF
ters, identification info and material info. In
addition the user may perform operations
involving transmitter database such as li-
sting, saving, downloading and deleting.
