Controlling the
FS1—Using the
Select and Adjust
Buttons
The FS1's control system is designed to be easy to use and remember. All functions
in the menu system are numbered for easy reference. Two pairs of up/down
buttons named
Select
and
Adjust
provide control. Pressing any of these four
buttons immediately puts the FS1 into control mode:
To operate the FS1, use the
Select
buttons to select a function or parameter. Then
use the
Adjust
buttons to adjust the selected function or parameter.
The control display has two lines:
The top line contains a numbered and named FS1 parameter and or function.
The lower line contains the current setting.
The parameter
Select
buttons select a parameter to view or modify.
Pressing a parameter
Adjust
button changes the current parameter's value to a new
one from the FS1's list of choices—repeating the list if you continue to press
Adjust
or adjusting a numerical value up or down. The exact choices displayed
will vary depending on the parameter. Adjustment choices made with the
Adjust
buttons take effect immediately (except
1.1 Output Format
which has a
1/2 second delay). In most cases, changed parameters will be stored into the
FS1’s non-volatile memory after the parameter remains unchanged for 3
seconds. Exceptions are the
IP Address
,
IP Config
,
Subnet Mask
and all SNMP
parameters; for these you must exit the selection to activate changes.
Holding down a
Select
or
Adjust
button continuously changes the choices
automatically with acceleration if applicable.
Pressing either a
Select
or an
Adjust
button while on the Status or Screen Saver
displays changes the display to the last remembered control menu.
Holding down
both
the
Adjust
(up) and
Adjust
(down) buttons—
at the same time
will set that parameter back to its factory default value.
For some parameters, once the parameter is selected, the first
Adjust
button
pressed begins the editing. The top
Select
button then can be used to choose
the position (left to right) within the parameter being edited.
Holding down
both
the
Select
buttons
at the same time
returns the front panel
menu to parameter
1.1 Output Format
. If you are editing an octet, string or
other parameter that requires a commit action (like editing a blinking IP
address) and you press both
Select
buttons, the edit will terminate (will
not
take
effect and will
not
be saved). On the other hand, if you are editing menu items
that normally take effect as they are edited (e.g. procamp gain), the edited
value will take effect.
Note:
Parameter displays and adjustment choices and values are described in
detail in
