To continue with control panel operation or configuration, press the CAL key once. A
second press of the CAL key will return to Statesman control.

The control panel will display the name of the card that first responds to the polling
request together with its location number.

The location number consists of the frame number plus the card position in the frame.

Navigating the display

The functions assigned to control panel keys are:

 

DEVICE – enters Device menu to select a card or show cards available / enters Panel setup when
held down during power up / shows frame status when pressed from Statesman mode

 

CAL – enters or leaves Statesman mode / enters panel diagnostics mode when held down during
power up / updates the display

 

Asterisk – enters board rename menu from the Device menu

 

F1 to F4 – soft keys, function assigned within each menu

 

HOME – moves the display to the home menu

 

ENTER – accept current selection

 

Upward arrow – used to move up the menu structure / enter lock panel menu from the Device

Rotary control – shaft encoder used to select options or variable data

Menu numbering scheme

This manual uses a simple menu numbering convention based on the sequence of keys
required to reach each menu from the top level home menu. For example, menu 1.1.2 is
reached from the home menu by pressing F1, then F2. Menu 1.2.3 is reached by pressing
F2 and then F3.

Note:

Please refer to the Crystal Vision Control Panel manual for details of the Panel Setup,
Lock Panel and Diagnostic menus.

Selecting FTX202

To select a particular card in a frame, press the DEVICE key to go to the Device menu.
The top line of the display will show ‘Available Cards X’, where X is the number of cards
that have responded so far to the polling request.
