2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System

Crestron

AV2 & PRO2

PRO2 LCD Display

The front panel of the PRO2 incorporates a reverse mode (yellow on black) LCD
display, shown below. The screen contains two lines with 40 characters per line; it is
used to extend features and gain access to the system including the SIMPL program.
To the right of the display are four menu selection buttons. These buttons permit the
user to navigate through the menus and also to control the brightness of the display
backlight. Below the display are six menu function buttons. These buttons offer
extended features of the PRO2. For details, refer to "Programming the LCD Display
(available on PRO2 only)" on page 17.

programming and an example of this display is provided in "Programming the LCD
Display (available on PRO2 only)" on page 17.

This button displays the default Info Menu, shown after this paragraph. System
information, including the loaded SIMPL program version, hardware specs such as
types of expansion cards installed in the card slots, the Cresnet devices detected, the
Ops version, and the communication settings, is displayed.

NOTE:

The information within each of the commands displayed in the Info Menu

may exceed the 40 characters permitted per line. If this occurs, use the two right-
most menu function buttons to scroll left and right. Refer to the two arrows shown
