3.2 FRONT PANEL PUSH BUTTONS
The front panel push buttons are repeated here from Section 1 because they are used in the engi-
neering mode display overlay examples to enter a key password, display a datapoint, and alter a
datapoint.
To the right of the display is the
vertical keypad
and directly beneath the display is the
horizontal
keypad
. Both keypads have functioning push buttons that are dependent on the instrument mode
of operation which can be either
operator mode
or
engineering mode
. Mode selection is made
with the Mode ( ) push button on the horizontal keypad. Engineering mode is entered to make the
necessary selections for the operator displays; otherwise, the instrument is left in operator mode
for process applications. Both keypads are described as follows:
