If
your
terminal
is
already
installed
and
ready
to
use,
you
can
go
directly
to
part
2
of
this
user
guide.
If
your
terminal
is
still
in
the
packaging,
we
suggest
that
you
read
part
1
before
you
start
to
install
the
terminal.
This
user
guide
will
introduce
you
to
the
ND
Display
Terminal
1200
(ND
product
number
110140).
As
you
may
know,
a
terminal
is
used
to
communicate
with
a
computer,
and
to
a
large
extent
its
behavior
depends
on
the
program
that
is
running
in
the
computer.
However,
local
operating
instructions
are
also
needed
in
order
to
use
the
terminal
in
a
typical
work
situation.
This
guide
tells
you
about:
,
Assembling
and
adjusting
the
terminal
Using
the
soft
keys
Defining
your
own
menu
settings
Programming
PUSH-keys
Adjusting
light
intensity
and
contrast
Creating
and
handling
a
window
Using
the
notepad
These
things
are
common
to
all
ND
Display
Terminal
12005.
Features
applying
to
particular
versions
of
the
terminal
are
described
in
a
separate
booklet
entitled
"Functional

6 Part 1 - Before you begin
The basic ND Display Terminal
1200 package consists of the
terminal, the keyboard and a simple
stand (or plinth). A pedestal stand
which permits height adjustment and
rotation of the terminal is available
as an option. The mounting
procedure described below applies to
both the plinth and pedestal stand.
Mounting the stand
. Turn the terminal upside down
with the screen facing away from
you.
. Position the stand in the metal
groove as shown.
. Insert the fastening clamp in the
slot and slide it slightly forward
so that the notches are properly
engaged. Do this with both
fastening clamps.
. Secure each fastening clamp with
the bolt and washer.
. Tighten the bolts using the
enclosed wrench (spanner), but do
not tighten them completely.
They should be tightened so that
the stand can be easily tilted
forward and backward, yet be
stable when left in position.

9 Part 2 - Getting started
The
keys
in
the
typewriter
area
are
very
similar
to
those
of
an
ordinary
typewriter,
and
are
used
in
the
same
way.
The
location
of
the
particular
keys
will
vary
a
bit
according
to
various
national
standards.
The
keys
in
the
cursor
control
and
tabulation
area
are
used
to
move
the
cursor
on
the
screen,
indicating
the
writing
position.
The
keys
in
the
numeric
pad
function
like
the
numeric
keys
in
the
typewriter
area
-
except
that
the
CAPS
key
has
no
effect.
The
soft-key
concept
is
new
for
NOTIS
terminals.
These
are
eight
distinct
keys
(Pl—P8),
each
with
several
functions.
The
use
of
soft
keys
limits
the
number
of
keys
needed,
thereby
reducing
the
size
of
the
keyboard.
The
soft
keys
are
described
briefly
in
this
part
of
the
guide
and
more
extensively
in
Part
4.
The
current
soft—key
functions
are
shown
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen.
If
the
power
is
on
and
the
terminal
is
working
properly,
the
keyboard
indicator
is
green.
If
an
error
occurs
in
the
terminal,
or
in
its
link
with
the
host
computer,
the
indicator
light
will
be
red.

Part

—
Getting
started
Turning
the
terminal
on
ON/OFF
You
turn
the
terminal
on
with
the
ON/OFF
switch
located
on
the
left
side
of
the
terminal.
Test
routines
When
the
terminal
has
been
turned
on,
the
keyboard
indicator
light
will
be
green,
and
a
moment
later
the
contents
of
the
screen
appear.
During
this
delay
period,
the
terminal
goes
through
certain
test
routines
to
discover
possible
errors.
Error messages
If an error
is detected
during
the warm-up
tests, a
diagnosis
is
shown
on
the
screen,
and
the
keyboard
indicator
light
will
be
red.
Usually,
there
is
no
error
and
the
bottom
of
the
screen
will
appear
similar
to
the
one
shown
below.
(Your
screen
picture
may
be
slightly
but
not
significantly
different.)

11 Part 2 - Getting started
Soft keys
The
"soft
keys"
are
the
keys
marked
Pl—P8
at
the
top
of
your
keyboard.
Each
of
the
soft
keys
is
capable
of
serving
many
purposes
and
performing
many
functions
and
subfunctions.
The
current
function
of
the
soft
keys
is
always
displayed
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
picture.

Soft
keys
used
When
you
log
in
or
when
you
press
CTRL
+
P7
as
PUSH-keys
(while
holding
down
CTRL
press
P7),
the
soft—key
(CTRL
+
P7)
functions
shown
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen
look
like this:
The
eight
soft
keys
can
now
be
used
as
PUSH-keys
(PKl
—
PK8).
A
PUSH-key
is
a
key
you
can
define
or
"program"
with
a
series
of
characters
or
key
strokes.
You
can,
for
example,
program
one
key
to
write
the
name
of
your
company
every
time
you
press
it.
This
saves time if the name appears often in the text you
type.
You
can
program
another
key
with
the
procedure
for
storing
and
printing
your
text,
so
that
these
operations
are
carried
out
at
the
touch
of
a
single
key.
In
addition
to
the
eight
PUSH-keys
that
are
now
available,
you
can
use
up
to
eight
more
(PK9
—
PKl6)
by
pressing
the
SHIFT
key.
When
a
PUSH-key
is
empty
(not
yet
programmed)
the
box
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
contains
the
number
of
the
key
(PKl,
PK2,
etc.).
When
the
PUSH—key
has
been
programmed,
the
box
contains
the
short
name
you
gave
it
when
you
programmed
it
to
help
you
remember
what
has
been
programmed
1nto it.
For
a
detailed
discussion
of
PUSH-keys
and
how
to
program
them,
refer
to
Part
4,
page
39.

These
soft—key
functions
are
pre-defined
by
NOTIS,
and
you
will
not
be
able
to
re-define
them.
This
soft—
key
set
is
perhaps
the
one
you
will
use
most
often,
since
it
is
used
to
mark
parts
of
the
text
for
editing
or special handling.
This
soft-key
set
is
software
dependent.
If
you
run
a
program
other
than
NOTIS,
the
soft
keys
will
have
different
functions.

FUNCTION KEYS
All of these functions deal with
the set up of your
terminal. You can control and change
virtually all of
the terminal characteristics to suit
your own needs.
You can think of this first screen
picture as the main
or "top" level of TERMINAL functions.
You will
notice that some of the box titles
are written in
lowercase letters and some in uppercase.
Lowercase: If you press a key with
a title in
lowercase, you enter a new, lower
TERMINAL
function level; a level of subfunctions.
This
hierarchy of functions and subfunctions
is shown in
the overview on the next page.
Uppercase: If you press a key with
an uppercase
title, you can perform the task described
in the title.
For example, if you press the LIGHT
ADJUST key
(P3), the screen picture changes
to:
MIN * MAX MAX __‘__MIN

15 Part 2 - Getting started
Now
you
can
use
the
soft
keys
to
adjust
the
light
and
contrast of your screen picture.
You must always press the 'exit' key (P1) to return
to
the
higher
TERMINAL
function
level.
You
must
be at the top TERMINAL function level to change
the
soft
keys
to

17 Part 2 — Getting started
Notice
that
the
soft
key
P1
has
two
labels:
P1
and
ESCAPE.
On
many
terminals
you
simply
press
the
key
labelled
ESC
(escape)
to
log
in.
On
the
ND

however,
you
must
press
CTRL

unless
you
specifically
program
the

function
onto
the

Pl/ESCAPE.
To
save
you
time
and
effort
each
time
you
log
in,
we
recommend
that
you
program
Pl/ESCAPE
so
it
will
