4.2 VIEWING THE INSTRUMENT PAGES
NOTE: Depending upon the module’s configuration, some display screens may be
disabled. For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-238
DSE8610 MKII Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.
It is possible to scroll to display the different pages of information by repeatedly operating the
Next & Previous Page buttons.
Example
Status Generator Engine
And so on until the desired page is reached.
Further presses of the
Next Page Button returns the Status
page.
The complete order and contents of each information page are given in the following sections
Once selected, the page remains on the LCD display until the user selects a different page, or after
an extended period of inactivity (LCD Page Timer), the module reverts to the status display.
If no buttons are pressed upon entering an instrumentation page, the instruments displayed are
automatically subject to the setting of the LCD Scroll Timer.
The LCD Page and LCD Scroll timers are configurable using the DSE Configuration Suite Software or
by using the Front Panel Editor.
The screenshot shows the factory settings
for the timers, taken from the DSE
Configuration Suite PC Software.
Alternatively, to scroll manually through all instruments on the currently selected page, press the
Instrumentation Scroll buttons. The ‘auto scroll’ is disabled.
To re-enable ‘auto scroll’ press the Instrumentation Scroll buttons to scroll to the ‘title’ of the
instrumentation page (ie Engine). A short time later (the duration of the LCD Scroll Timer), the
instrumentation display begins to auto scroll.
When scrolling manually, the display automatically returns to the Status page if no buttons are
pressed for the duration of the configurable LCD Page Timer.
If an alarm becomes active while viewing the status page, the display shows the Alarms page to draw
the operator’s attention to the alarm condition.
If you want to view one of the instrument pages
towards the end of the list, it may be quicker to scroll
left through the pages rather than right!
