Installing and Using the Software
(Continued)
Navigating the GUI
Channel Detail Window
To view the
Channel Detail
for a particular receiver, double-click
anywhere in the channel strip (the grey column containing
information about that channel).
Figure G (see page 11) shows the Channel Detail. For each
section of Figure G that contains a numeral, see the
corresponding text for an explanation.
Changing Receiver Name
To name a receiver, access the
Rx Name
popup by clicking on
the
Edit
button. Type in the name (up to six characters will
display in the GUI). Click
OK
to accept the change and return to
the Channel Detail window, or
Cancel
to return to the Channel
Detail window without making the change.
Changing Frequency
To change Receiver Frequency manually (bypassing the
IntelliScan
™
function), simply click the Up or Down arrow until
the desired frequency is displayed. Then click
Set
. Alternatively,
you may type a frequency into the box.
Changing Squelch
To change the Squelch setting, click on the Up or Down arrow
until the desired squelch setting is displayed. Then click
Set
.
The GUI offers 16 different squelch settings. Accordingly, the
receiver’s squelch display has 16 bars, with one bar being the
minimum setting. These bars correspond with the squelch
settings in the GUI.
Caution:
Squelch is a feature that mutes the
receiver when RF drops below the user-chosen
level. It is useful for combating interference.
However,
higher (“tighter”) squelch settings
may decrease the operating range of the
system
. Always test the system before using
tighter squelch in a performance, to make certain that your
transmitters will operate at the desired range.
Changing Display Name
You may choose to display either the transmitter name or the
receiver name in the channel strip. (Transmitters may be given
separate names from receivers.) Click on the dropdown menu
and select the desired display setting
(Tx Name
or
Rx Name)
.
When you return to the Main GUI window, the display will show
either the receiver or transmitter name, as you selected.
To display either Tx Name or Rx Name in
all channel strips
,
go to
View > Show Transmitter Names
or
View > Show
Receiver Names
, respectively.
Note: Transmitter names must be set (entered) on the
transmitter itself. See the system manual for details.
Changing Lock Setting
Click on the dropdown menu to select one of the following
receiver lock options:
No Lock
,
Rx Lock
,
PC Lock
, or
All Lock
.
For more details about using the lock settings, consult the
system manual.
•
No Lock: All controllable features may be adjusted from
the receiver or the computer.
•
Rx Lock: Controllable features may be adjusted only from
the PC, not from the receiver.
•
PC Lock: Controllable features may be adjusted only from
the receiver, not from the PC. The software will still allow
you to access menus; you are restricted only from making
changes to settings.
•
All Lock: No changes at PC or receiver may be made while
this option is turned on.
Note: If
PC Lock or All Lock is selected, you will not be able to
change any further system settings from the computer until you
change the lock setting to either
Rx Lock or No Lock.
Changing Meter Hold Setting
Meter Hold indicates the highest-level AF and the lowest-level
RF signals received from the transmitter. This feature is useful
when setting up the system, performing a sound check, or
diagnosing operating problems. The button displays
On
(green)
or
Off
(grey) depending on the current setting. Click the button
to enable or disable this feature.
Changing Antenna Power Setting
The receiver’s antenna jacks have the capability to power
optional external antennas using +12V DC output on their
center pins. (Powered antennas are
not required for normal
operation.) Click the
On/Off
button to enable or disable this
feature.
Muting/Unmuting System
Provided the transmitter for this receiver is on, you may
mute/unmute the receiver from this window by clicking the
Rx Mute
button. (If the transmitter is off, the receiver is
automatically muted.)
Note: If the
External Mute
on the receiver is engaged, the Rx
Mute function will not unmute it. For more information, see the
system manual.
