CSD Properties and Operation

Power On State

Power On State is a Beam Preset that is automatically recalled right after the power cycle of the array. By 

default, the first stored Beam Preset is assigned to the Power On State. The Power On State is indicated 

below the Beam Preset menu.

You can change the Power On State to a different Beam Preset. 
1.  Click ‘Select POS…’ button

2.  Select Power On State dialog box appears. Select the Beam Preset that you want to assign to the Power 

On State.

3.  Click OK. Now the Power On State has been changed.
