ABSTRACT:
Reprogrammable or softkeys are employed in a manner allowing significant flexibility in the display of information on a computer display means. Areas on the display corresponding to the softkeys are used to display the possible set of values of a parameter characterizing a function of a system or apparatus. Subsets of the set of values can also be displayed. Additionally, different variables can be displayed at the same location of the display at different times. The softkeys are further adapted to alter the state of the system or apparatus by affecting the parameter associated with each softkey when that softkey is activated in accordance with a prescribed pattern.
