1.5General Instructions for Using CN8-SW Windows

When the instructions refer to ÒCN8-SW main windowÓ, this is a reference to the graphic display showing images of controller front panels.

To select an item on display, move the cursor over the item and use the left button to click (or double-click when directed) on a display item to select it, unless the instructions in this manual specifically tell you to use the right button on your mouse.

To select an item from a dropdown list, click on the button next to a text entry box. A list of choices will be displayed. Select an item from the list by placing the cursor on top of the item, then clicking the left mouse button.

To enter text or a numeric value, place the cursor somewhere in the text entry box and click to Ògain focusÓ on the box, then type in your text or value. If you make a mistake, use the Delete key to remove characters to the right of the cursor or the Backspace key to remove items to the left of the cursor.

To move the cursor from one text entry box to another in the same window, use the Tab key.
