2.2. Using the on-line help

FORMAT has a context sensitive on-line help system activated by the Fl key. You can press the Fl key at any time while using the controller to obtain an information window summarising what actions are possible from the current position.

The on-line help system is not intended to be a replacement for this handbook, but provides a useful reminder for keystrokes and menu options.

If you find you are unsure of what to do next, your first action should be to call for the on-line help. In most cases this will give you sufficient information to let you carry on.

2.3. Function keys

Function keys are keys which cause the controller to immediately action a task. FORMAT has two kinds of function keys, namely "global" and "local":

2.3.1Global function keys

These are keys which serve one fixed purpose and are operational all the time. An example is the F10 key which shuts the chamber down. This can be thought of as an emergency stop button. It is active all the time, whatever the controller is doing. Global function keys are shown at the bottom of the screen (see Figure 1).

2.3.2Local function keys

These are keys whose function may change from one task to another. They are shown at the bottom of the window that the user is currently interacting with.

2.4. Using the data entry windows

When the controller needs information from you, it presents a data entry window. FORMAT has data entry windows for a multitude of different situations (e.g. asking you for a steady state condition or alarm setpoints), so they vary in appearance. Common to all of them, however, is a standard method of data entry and navigating the fields in the window.

2.4.1Moving between fields

The "enter" or "right arrow" keys are used to move the input cursor to the next field of a data entry window. The key to move the input cursor to the previous field is the "left arrow". Keying past the last field causes a "wrap round" effect which moves the input cursor to the first field.
