Using Online Help

Our LightDesigner online help system makes it easy to find the answers you need to program your Paradigm architectural control system.

The online help display is split into two sections, the left side which displays the active window pane functions (Contents, Index, and Glossary) and the right side which displays the content of the selection.

Contents- By default the table of contents opens on the left side of the display when online help is launched. Navigate through the chapter topics to find the information you need. Clicking on a topic page opens in the content section of the display.
Index - Click on the "Index" tab to display the online help Index on the left side of the display. Navigate through the index to find keywords for the information you need or type the keyword in the provided search box to jump to that section. When you click on a keyword in the index, the associated topic page opens in the content section of the display.
Glossary - Click on the "Glossary" tab to display the online help "Glossary" window pane on the left side of the display. Click any of the terms in the glossary to see a definition.
Search - The "Search" field is displayed on the top right corner of the page. Enter one or more keywords in the field and click the search button or press enter. Links to topics containing the search keyword(s) are listed in the content section of the page. Clicking on a topic link displays the associated topic page.

Toolbar

The help system toolbar located above the content section of the page provides tools to print topics, expand or collapse all drop down text on the page, remove highlights from search text, navigate to the next or previous topic in the system.
