Fundamentals
3.3 Defining start softkeys
Example
Separate start softkey menus can be defined for horizontal and vertical menus. The "MENU"
attribute is used for this purpose.
If a new menu is displayed in an HMI application and this menu permits the use of start
softkeys in accordance with the configuration (easyscreenmode = "easyscreen"), a search
will first be performed for the "MENU" attribute in the configuration of the start softkey menu:
● If a configuration for a start softkey menu with the "MENU" attribute is found and if the
"MENU" attribute contains the name of the menu that is currently being displayed (in the
example: "menu_horiz"), then this start softkey menu is displayed.
Only the horizontal softkeys are taken into account here, as the "menu_horiz" menu
involves a horizontal menu bar.
● Where there is no menu-specific softkey menu for a particular menu (i.e. the "MENU"
attribute is not available), the default start softkey menu will be loaded.
//S(Start)
MENU="menu_horiz"
HS2=("Contour",ac6,se3)
...
//END
Template for configurations
A detailed description of all permissible positions for start softkeys and their configuration is
located in the easyscreen.ini file in the following directory:
/card/siemens/sinumerik/hmi/cfg
This file is used as a template for your own configurations.
