Using the Control Keys


Using the Control Keys


The tape library has three control keys: MENU, CYCLE, and SELECT (see Figure 19).
Each control key performs a specific function, regardless of whether you are changing modes, initiating an activity, running tests, or setting parameters.
Figure 20 lists the key functions for both the scrolling presentation and the menu/cycle presentation.


Figure 20. Control Key Functions 

Key Scrolling Presentation Menu/Cycle Presentation
MENU Moves the arrow up. Changes from the current
operational menu to the next
menu. The current operational
menu is shown on row 1. The
operation shown on row 1 is not
performed until the SELECT key
is pressed.
CYCLE Moves the arrow down. Switches between alternative
actions for the operational
menus The current alternative
action is shown on row 2. The
operation shown on row 2 is not
performed until the SELECT key
is pressed.
SELECT Causes the tape library to
perform the chosen operation.
Causes the tape library to
perform the menu operation and
the alternative action.


  -Attention:- Simultaneously pressing the MENU, CYCLE, and SELECT control keys for approximately six seconds will reinitialize the tape library.
This is useful for restarting a library that might have stopped in the middle of an operation, or to start the initialization routine so that you can enter the setup mode.
