4.1.4 LCD Dual Line Display
Figure 4-5: Display and Shuttle Knobs interaction
All settings, measurements and menu selections are shown on the two-line back-lit LCD display.
It consists of 2 lines of 20 alphanumerical characters each. Either one of the rotary knobs affects
the parameter on the "ACTIVE" line of the LCD display. The active line is the line, which has a
LEFT ARROW (
◄
) at the end. The knobs can be used to scroll to parameter values shown on
the LCD. To change the ACTIVE field, use the UP (
▲ ) or DOWN (▼) cursor keys.
If the SET screen is selected, the VOLTAGE knob only affects the programmed voltage and the
CURRENT knob only affects the programmed current. This is the only time there is a difference
between the two knobs.
The viewing angle of the LCD display can be adjusted from the Calibration (CALIBRATION) menu
(see section 0) to meet individual tastes.
4.1.5 Menu Operation
The KDC Series DC supply can be operated from the front panel through a series of menus.
There are several levels of menus, starting at level 1 (top level) and drilling down into sub menus.
See section 4.2 for a complete overview of the menu structure.
The main MENU (Level 1) can be reached by pressing the MENU key. To see all entries at level
1, press the MENU key repeatedly and it will cycle through the various entry pairs. To drill down to
a level 2 menu (sub-menu), place the ACTIVE line (
◄
) on the desired main menu entry and press
the ENTER key.
A Level 2 or 3 menu can have anywhere from one to multiple entries. If there are more than two
entries, the up (
▲ ) and down (▼) cursor keys located to the right of the LCD display may be used
to scroll up or down through the available list of entries.
As you scroll through the list, you will notice that one of the two visible entries on the display will
have a "
◄
" marker to the right of it. This is the ACTIVE selection marker. To select an entry,
place the marker next to the desired entry and press the ENTER key. This will 'drill' down to a
lower menu level. To back up, use the BACK key or press the MENU key to return to menu level
1 (top menu).
