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 C-4 shows the soft buttons.
Predefined Function Buttons
The predefined function buttons have specific, system-wide functions assigned to them.
These functions are covered in “MCP Predefined Functions” on page 133.
