1.4.2Use of the Function Keys
In order to make it easier to input data, the teach pendant is provided with six function keys, i.e., "F1" to "F6".
The functions to which "F1" to "F5" correspond will change depending on the mode. The names of these functions will appear above the corresponding function key. By pushing the appropriate key, commands can be executed without having to type in each letter making up that command.
The "F6" key is the NEXT key. When there are more than five commands in a particular mode, the NEXT key allows one to display the additional commands.
Example: Selecting the "SAVE" command
>■
EDIT LOAD SAVE TESTRUN> RESET NEXT
F1
F2
F3
F4
F5
F6
Command names followed by a “>” symbol indicate commands which are executed immediately when the, corresponding function key is pushed.
!Caution
The function keys work differently when editing with the screen editor or data editor. For more information, refer to Chapter 5 "Program Editing" and Chapter 6 "Data Editing."
