3.3 Local control using the Densité 3 frame control panel
3.3.1 Overview
Push the SELECT button on the HDA-39x1 card edge
(see Section 1.4) to assign the local control panel to
operate the HDA-39x1. Use the control panel buttons to
navigate through the menu, as described below.
All of the cards installed in a Densité 3 frame are
connected to the frame’s controller card, which handles
all interaction between the cards and the outside world.
There are no operating controls located on the cards
themselves. The controller supports remote operation
via its Ethernet ports, and local operation using its
integrated control panel.
The local control panel is fastened to the front of the
CPU-ETH2 controller card, and when installed is located in the front center of the frame, positioned in front of the
power supplies. The panel consists of a display unit capable of displaying two lines of text, each 16 characters in
length, and five pushbuttons.
The panel is assigned to operate any card in the frame by pushing the SELECT button on the front edge of that card.
•
Pushing the CONTROLLER button on the control panel selects the Controller card itself.
•
The STATUS LED on the selected card flashes yellow.
The local control panel displays a menu that can be navigated using the four pushbuttons located beside the display.
The functionality of the pushbuttons is as follows:
[+] [–]
Used for menu navigation and value modification
[SELECT] Gives access to the next menu level. When a parameter value is shown, pushing this button once
enables modification of the value using the [+] and [–] buttons; a second push confirms the new value
[ESC]
Cancels the effect of parameter value changes that have not been confirmed; pushing [ESC] causes the
parameter to revert to its former value.
Pushing [ESC] moves the user back up to the previous menu level. At the main menu, [ESC] does
not
exit the menu system. To exit, re-push the [SELECT] button for the card being controlled.
If no controls are operated for 30 seconds, the controller reverts to its normal standby status, and the selected card’s
STATUS LED reverts to its normal operating mode.
3.3.2 Menu for local control
The HDA-39x1 has operating parameters which may be adjusted locally at the controller card interface.
•
Press the SELECT button on the HDA-39x1 front card edge to assign the Densité 3 frame’s local control
panel to the HDA-39x1
•
Use the keys on the local control panel to step through the displayed menu to configure and adjust the HDA-
39x1.
The complete menu structure is shown in Annex 1 to this document, beginning on page 20.
