STANDBY TIME - (SBYTM)
This sets a period of time of joystick inactivity before Standby Mode is entered.
The programmable range is 0 to 200 seconds. A value of 0 means that Standby Mode will never be entered.
7.27
SWITCH TO STANDBY - (SWSBY)
This sets whether a switch connected into the External Profile Switch Jack can be used to enter Standby Mode.
The programmable options are Yes and No.
If set to Yes, an external switch can be used to enter Standby Mode.
If set to No, Standby Mode cannot be entered with an external switch.
7.28
MODE SELECTION IN STANDBY - (MDESL)
This sets whether the joystick can be used to enter different operating Modes while the system is in Standby Mode, or whether
Standby Mode is effectively a power-down condition.
The programmable options are Yes or No.
If set to Yes, then STANDBY will be displayed on the screen and joystick deflections can be used to select different operatin g
Modes. Each of the four joystick directions can be programmed to enter a different Mode. This is set by Standby Forward,
Standby Reverse, Standby Left and Standby Right.
If set to No, then STANDBY ON will be displayed on the screen and joystick deflections have no effect. To resume normal
operation the Profile Button or an External Profile Switch, if fitted, should be operated.
7.29
STANDBY IN MODES
This allows the Standby function to be disabled in particular operating Modes. A typical example is if the R -net is being used to
control a PC mouse. In this instance Standby would be undesirable as the joystick is likely to be frequently left in the center
position for a period longer than that set by Standby Time.
The programmable options are in the form of a drop-down menu, as shown in the following diagram.
To set whether Standby is enabled in a particular Mode or Modes, simply highlight the appropriate menu item. Any
combination of Modes can be selected.
When the drop down menu is closed the selected Modes are expressed as numbers a nd the parameter appears on the screen
as below. The numbers 1 to 8 refer to the Modes listed in the menu.
