Navigating the LCD Control Screen

Introduction

The LCD Control Screen and its controls let you configure the ampli fier and access many features that before 

were available only through a remote computer. Also, you can recall DSP presets via the front panel. (Some DSP 

parameters cannot be adjusted with the LCD Control Screen. That is done in System Architect.) 

This image shows the parts of the LCD Control Screen. Its 

functions are described below. NOTE: Listed functions can 
also be controlled in System Architect. 

Here’s how to access the various menus and settings in the LCD control screen:

 

Starting from the Attenuation screen, press 

Menu/Exit

 to go to the Sample Rate screen.

• 

Press 

Next 

to go to the next item in the menu. 

• 

Press

 to go to the previous item in the menu. 

• 

Turn or press either 

Encoder 

knob to change the value of the dis played parameter.

Some menu items require confirmation: after you request a change, the display might say “Press and hold.” To 

confirm a change, press and hold an 

Encoder

 knob. If you don’t want the change to occur during a confirmation, 

turn the knob or wait five seconds. 

 

The entire front panel or just selected screens can be locked out or set to read only status using System Architect 

software. Locked-out screens will either say “Lockout” or the individual parameter will say “N/A”. If a change is 
attempted the screen will say “Changes Disabled”.

Sweep Load Monitoring is not available in early I-Tech HD models.
