Control Builder On-line Help System

Introduction

This section briefly describes the help system included with the UMC800 Control Builder, and gives

instructions on how to use the different types of help offered with the program.

The Control Builder On-line help system uses the same conventions as Help for Windows ’95 and “NT”

regarding the following:

• Help window

• Accessing help from the help menu

• Help system’s contents page

• F1 key

• Search Function

Control Builder on-line help system

The on-line help system offers a convenient and quick way to get information about the task that you are

performing in the Control Builder program.

The help system offers context-sensitive help which means that at any time you request help, a help topic

appears that pertains specifically to where you are in the program.

For example, if you are focused on a particular program window, dialog box, or entry field, you will get a

help topic that describes that particular area.

Requesting Help

To request Help on any area of the Control Builder, use one of the following methods:

• HELP MENU

This is the last item on the menu bar. Choose a Help topic from the Help menu.

Help Topics

From the Help menu, click “Help Topics”. The Help Contents tab appears. This is a list of all Help

topics available including Menus, Configuration Parameters, and Toolbar. Selecting a topic

causes information about that topic to be displayed. If the information about a topic exceeds the

height of the window, a vertical scroll bar will be displayed.
