Soft Buttons
The soft buttons have different functions depending on the application program being
run, or the selection made from the predefined function buttons. Whenever a soft button
is active, its function is shown on the bottom line of the pendant display. Because these
buttons do not have fixed labels (the labels are defined by the program using the buttons)
they are referred to as soft buttons. (Programming the MCP is covered in the V
+
Language
User’s Guide.) Figure D-3 shows the soft buttons.
Function Buttons
The predefined function buttons have specific, system-wide functions assigned to them.
These functions are covered in section D.2 on page 184. The programmable function
buttons are used in custom application programs, and their functions will vary depending
upon the program being run. See the documentation for your applications programs for
details on these buttons. Figure D-3 shows the function buttons.
