Status Displays 

Status Displays selects the information that will be displayed in the status window flag.  If set to 
NUMBER, then upon closing the menu, a small status window flag will display the port number 1 
through 8 or F1 through F8 indicating the active port.  If set to NAME, then the name assigned to 
that port (Edit Port Names) will be displayed in the status window flag.  Use the DOWN ARROW key 
to highlight the STATUS DISPLAYS field and press the ENTER key to display different options. 

Status Size 

Status Size determines the size of the status window flag in number of characters: the minimum is 2 
and maximum is 22.  Use the DOWN ARROW key to highlight the STATUS SIZE field and press the 
ENTER key to display different options. 

Status Background 

Status Background determines if the status window flag should be opaque or translucent in showing 
the port name or number.  If set to TRANSL then the status window flag is translucent.  If set to 
OPAQUE then the status window flag is opaque.  Use the DOWN ARROW key to highlight the 
STATUS BACKGROUND field and press the ENTER key to toggle between the two options. 

Input Control 

Input Control

 

can be set to DUAL or LOCAL.  On LOCAL only, the primary, internal to Centerpoint 

keyboard and mouse are enabled.  On DUAL setting, both the primary inputs and the external key-
board and mouse are enabled.  Use the DOWN ARROW key to highlight the INPUT CONTROL field 
and press the ENTER key to toggle between the two options. 

Screen Timeout  

Screen timeout sets the number of minutes of inactivity after which the Centerpoint will invoke a 
sleep signal to the TFT.  Setting a value of 0 disables the Timeout (not recommended).  Pressing the 
Enter key changes the Timeout value.  If the Timeout is less than 10, it increments in single units: 
between 10 and less than 60, it increments in units of 5: between 60 and less than 240, it incre-
ments in units of 10: and if it is 240 or greater, it returns to 0.  In order to maximize the lifetime of the 
backlight we recommend the Timeout be set to 10 or less. 

F10-SAVE 

Pressing the F10 key prompts the user for a password match in order to save changes made in the 
SETUP Menu.  Type your password and enter to save all of your changes.  Highlighting CANCEL 
will exit and return you to the SETUP Menu. 

F11-DISCARD

 

Pressing the F11 key will cause all of your changes to be discarded, fall back to the last saved con-
figuration and return to the Main Menu.
