2.9 

PORTS 1 / 2 – CONTROLS 

2.9.1  USER CONTROL 

This sets how the SID and/or User Switch are used to select the available Profiles and Modes. 

There are two programmable options, Sequence and Menu. 

If set to Sequence, then operations of the User Switch will move to the next available Profile or Mode. The order of the 
sequence is programmable, refer to the Ports 1 / 2 - User Menu section for further details. 

NOTE (HP, IN) 

It is not advisable to program the menu options, ‘Speed Adjust’ or ‘Profile Select’, if the Sequence method is being used 
with Single Switch Scanner-Type SIDs. 

If set to Menu, then an operation of the User Switch in Drive Mode will bring up a User Menu that presents all available 
Profiles and Modes. The SID is then used to navigate the menu. Forward and Reverse commands will change the highlighted 
menu options, while Left and Right commands are used to change settings, or to enter the highlighted Profile or Mode. The 
order of the menu is programmable, as is the way in which some of the options are presented, refer to the Ports 1 / 2 User 
Menu section for further details. 

NOTE (HP, IN) 

When using a Single Switch Scanner-Type SID, it is advisable to program an appropriate scanning rate for the User Menu. 
This is achieved using the programmable parameter, Menu Scan Rate. Operations of the User Switch whilst scanning 
through the User Menu will change settings or enter the highlighted Profile or Mode. 

2.9.2  RETURN TO 

This sets the effect of a short operation of the User Switch in a non-Drive Mode when the User Control is set to Menu.  

There are two programmable options, Drive and Menu.  

If set to Drive, then a short operation of the User Switch in any non-Drive Mode will return to the Drive Mode.  

If set to Menu, then a short operation of the User Switch will bring up the User Menu.  

When using Single Switch Scanner-Type SIDs, this parameter will set the return destination from a non-Drive Mode when the 
‘Exit’ option is highlighted and the User Switch is operated. 

2.9.3  TIMEOUT TO MENU 

This sets the period of SID inactivity before the User Menu will appear.  

The programmable range is 0s to 60s in steps of 1s.  

If set to 0, then the User Menu cannot be entered using this method.
