Configuration with the Configuration Tool
Mitsubishi Electric, MA00759F 69
Key delay time (ms)
The time interval in ms between pressing the same key on the operator panel before
the cursor automatically moves to the next position. Used for input of ASCII char-
acters (A-Z etc.).
Screen save time
The time in minutes after the last event on the display when it will switch off. The
default setting is 0 which means that the display never switches off. This function op-
timizes the service-life of the display.
Flat style
Makes the keyboard layout in the operator panel look 2-dimensional. Only available
for monochrome touch panels.
Key beep
Indicates whether the operator panel will beep when a key is pressed.
Key repeat
Indicates if a function will repeat as long as the key on the operator panel is pressed.
Function keys and input of alphanumeric characters (A-Z etc.) are not repeated.
Trend settings
General properties for all trends. Not available for E1012 and E1022. See the chapter
Tren ds for more information.
FTP delimiter
The operator panel can save the contents in files created in the operator panel. These
can be reached through FTP or be accessed on an external memory card with differ-
ent types of delimiter characters (separators). The content in files, e.g. recipe and
trend files, can be separated with Tab or the characters semicolon or comma. If the
FTP delimiter is changed, all recipes that are saved internally will be checked and the
separator will be replaced. Not available for E1012 and E1022. See the chapter
Network Functions in the Operator Panel for further information.
Memory card settings
External
Either a Compact Flash card or a USB Flash drive can be used externally. The exter-
nal memory can be used for project backup, recipe files etc., but not for expansion of
the project memory. Using two external memories simultaneously is not supported,
and if two memories are connected, the Compact Flash card is used prior to the USB
Flash drive.
See also the section Transfer to/from External Memory Card.
Note:
Use of Compact Flash cards is not supported in the E1012, E1022, E1032, E1041, E1043,
E1060, E1061, E1062 and E1063 operator panels.
