Using Contextual Help and Key Assist For Nexus220

Using Contextual Help and Key Assist For Nexus220

The Nexus 220 System has integrated WebHelp.

Information is covered in detail in the WebHelp. Activate the WebHelp from the Menu Bar as follows:

  • In the Computer running the Nexus220 Software, Launch Nexus220.exe as Administrator
  • From the Menu Bar select Help Topics > Online Help.

The Context Sensitive WebHelp provided with the Nexus220 Software works with your positioned Mouse Pointer (or cursor) on your screen. For example if you place your Mouse Pointer in the Viewer Pane, WebHelp opens Context Sensitive WebHelp specific to the Viewer Pane. If, however, you want WebHelp specific to the active Configuration Pane, continue as follows:

  • Move your Mouse Pointer into the Configuration Pane.
  • Anchor your Mouse Pointer by clicking the left-hand mouse button giving the Pane focus.
  • Press the F1 key on your keyboard.

Key Assist

The Nexus220 Base Application also includes Key Assistance. Selecting the Key Assist option opens an area on the right-hand side of the Base Application’s desktop. This area displays a list of keyboard shortcuts letting you quickly move between the Page Tabs. The final option in the Key Assist Area (System Navigation) opens the System Navigation dialog. This dialog allows quick navigation through System related functions.

Get Key Assistance as follows:

  • Launch the Nexus220 Software
  • From the Menu Bar select Help Topics > Key Assist.
