3-2-2 Selecting Menu Items
Menu items can be selected in either of the following two ways.
As shown in the figure below, a letter is displayed on the left of each main menu
item or submenu item. This key for this letter on the keyboard is called a shortcut
key. You can select a menu item by simply pressing the corresponding shortcut
key.
Example: Data Link Submenu
In this example, pressing “K” at the Data Link Submenu selects “K: Check
table.”
Part of each Controller Link Support Software menu is always highlighted. This
highlighted portion is called the cursor. The cursor indicates a selected object.
To move the cursor, use the Up and Down Cursor Keys.
Press the Enter Key to select the item at the cursor position.
Example: Data Link Submenu
In this example, pressing the Enter Key selects “E:Edit table.”
3-2-3 Entering Word Addresses
The Controller Link Support Software displays the Function Keys at the bottom
of the screen as shown below when the cursor moves to the word address entry
field.
The word address entry methods for CIO (IR), LR, and DM Areas are slightly
different from that for the EM Area.
Note When entering data in the first status word field, you can also use the “–” Key
and the Delete Key to set the first status word to its default value.

Specifying CIO, LR, and DM Addresses

1, 2, 3... Specify the data area by pressing the corresponding Function Key.
In the following example, the DM Area is specified by pressing the F5 (DM)
Key.
