14 FunctionKeys
Function keys can be configured to run actions or to run scripts.
14.1 Denitions
A standard PC keyboard has 12 function keys, F1 - F12.
A function key c an be configured to affect only a particular screen or to be global.
Global function keys behave identically for all screens. A global definition can
always be accessed when the operator panel is running, provided that the current
screen does not have a screen definition for that function key. Screen function
keys have higher priority than global function keys. Function keys included in
background screens have lower priority than screen function keys, but higher
priority than global function keys.
For touch panel and PC targets, the Function keys function is added via the
Insert ribbon tab, and allows configuration of up to 24 function keys (even if the
connected keyboard does not support more than 12 function keys).
