Keyboard Usage
User Interface: Getting Around
The “user interface” is the point at which you interact with
the CSS. More specifically, it refers to the s~ucture of
menus, data entry screens, symbols, and various other
elements that the CSS displays on the PC monitor.
“Getting Around” the user interface requires using
specified keys on the keyboard, or using a mouse, if one is
installed on your PC.
This chapter provides easy-to-follow procedures that show
you how to use the keyboard (or a mouse) to enter and exit
menus and screens, select menu options, and so on. The
procedures “walk” you through various menus and screens
in order to demonstrate the keyboard and mouse functions.
The remaining chapters of this manual show you the defuifs
for using all of the menus and screens.
This section describes the functions of keys and illustrates
using the keyboard to interact with the CSS.
Key Assignments
Several of the keys have been assigned a specific function
within the CSS. Some of these keys have more than one
assignments, the specific assignment varying according to
the selected task.
Here is a list of the keys, along with a brief statement of
their functions within the CSS:
l Fl: Function key #1 selects “help” messages throughout
the menus and screens.
l IQ: Function key #2 enables you to change the serial
communication port number from menus (but not from
data entry screens).
l F3: Function key #3 enables you to calibrate the chart
scales when setting up statistical process control (SPC)
operations.
l F4: Function key #4 displays the serial communication
port to which the SLS is connected. It also shows the
series and revision level of the firmware in the SLS.
