Figure 2.2: Menu-Tree of the MicroLink Operational Screens

you need to leave a blank space in your

description, press the

Space soft key. The Cursor

Left

and Cursor Right soft keys can be used to

position the cursor in the letter description. This is

typically used to go into a description and change

a single letter without entering the entire sequence

of letters again. The Abort Edit soft key will exit

the edit text system without applying any changes.

2.12 Menu Tree

The operation and configuration screens are

arranged in a structure called a menu tree. This

name is used because the structure of the screens

is similar to a tree with a main trunk, large

branches, and smaller branches. The main trunk is

like the main screen of the MicroLink system,

which has screens that are reached when the

appropriate soft key is pressed. These secondary

screens are like the big branches off of the main

trunk in a real tree. Other screens are reached

from these secondary screens by pressing the soft

key that matches the screen name. The screens

branch out in this fashion until all of the relevant

screens for that branch are covered.

The menu-tree for the MicroLink system is shown

in Figure 2.2. Each of the boxes in the figure

represents one of the screens in the MicroLink

system. The lines connecting the boxes show how

the screens are linked. For instance, to bring up

the job recall screen if you are currently in the

MultiSet screen requires three steps. First, press

the

EXIT key to go up one level to the main

screen. Second, press the

Job Setups soft key to

go to the job memory screen. Finally, press the

Recall Job soft key on that screen to go to the job

recall screen.

The HELP screen and the DOWN TIME CODE

screen are not part of the menu-tree screen

structure. They can be accessed from any screen

by pressing the dedicated keys on the keypad. For

instance, press the

HELP key to get to the HELP

screen. The EXIT key returns the system to the

previous screen.
