Button or key
A button always refers to an area on the screen that you can
tap to select functionality.
A key always refers to hardware push-buttons on the
keyboard that you can press.
DD or Device Description files
Manufacturers create HART® compliant Device Description (DD)
files that reside on the 5150. You may need to check for updates
to the DD files from time to time.
DD files “provide a standardized method for host systems to
access and display valuable parameters located in field
instruments so that the full capability of the device can be
accessed via the HART protocol.”
DDs are “used to describe such parameters as device
diagnostics, multi-variable measurements and device
configuration information in a digital format. As applied in
the HART Protocol, this digital information is imposed on top
of the industry-standard, process control 4–20mA signal.”
Note: The two italicized statements come from the HART
Communication Foundation’s web site:
http://en.hartcomm.org/hcp/tech/dd/aboutprotocol_dds.html
Highlight
This manual uses the word highlight in two ways:
1. As a noun: highlight refers to an icon or a menu line that has
the focus on-screen at any given time.
2. As a verb: highlight refers to:
a. Pressing the arrow keys or Advance key to change
the focus to a new button.
b. Pressing and holding a button on-screen for one
second to change the focus to a new button.

Select
This manual uses the word select to refer to:
Navigating the levels of menus in the communicator.
Opening additional screens:
oTo navigate the communicator’s menu levels.
oTo view information.
oTo view additional functions.
Performing some task on the communicator.
Note: Highlight an on-screen button you want to choose and
select it.
You may select items by using one of several methods:
Touchscreen gestures as you do on a smartphone, such as:
Tapping on-screen buttons or icons.
Swiping left or right.
Scrolling up or down.
Navigation keys use:
The Arrows and Advance/Switch buttons to highlight a
button.
The Select button to select the highlighted button.
Numeric keys:
1–9 and 0, minus and decimal.
These Navigation shortcuts select the function directly.
A combination of touchscreen gestures and keys.
Note: The Spacebar is used as a shortcut key only on system
menus. Since it is directly above the Navigation keys, it offers an
easy way to select the connection bar.
Standby or sleep
This manual uses the word standby mode to describe putting the
communicator into an energy-saving mode, where it uses very
little power. Some use the word sleep mode instead of standby.
