CARD EDGE MENU SYSTEM (7707VAT-A4 ONLY) 

5.1. 

NAVIGATING THE MENU SYSTEM 

When you are in control mode, the toggle switch and pushbutton are used to navigate through a menu 
system to set various parameters for the module. To enter the menu system, press the pushbutton one or 
more times to exit the current display mode and return to the mode select menu item.  The display will 
show 

MON

 or 

SET

.  Press the toggle switch to select control mode (

SET

) and then press the pushbutton to 

enter the control mode main setup menu.  You can use the toggle switch to move up and down the list of 
available sub menus.  Once the desired submenu name is displayed, press the pushbutton to select the 
next menu level.  
 
Once you are in the sub menu, there will be a list of parameters to adjust.  To adjust any parameter, use 
the toggle switch to move up or down to the desired parameter and press the pushbutton.  Using the 
toggle switch, adjust the parameter to its desired value. If the parameter is a numerical value, the number 
will increase if you lift the toggle switch and decrease if you push down on the toggle switch. If the 
parameter contains a list of choices, you can cycle through the list by pressing the toggle switch in either 
direction. 
 
When you have stopped at the desired value, depress the pushbutton. This will update the parameter to 
the selected value and return to the mode select menu item (the display shows 

SET

).  To change another 

parameter, press the pushbutton to enter the main menu system again and continue selecting and 
adjusting other parameters. 
 
Throughout the descriptions of the Menu items, default values are shown in underlined text. 
 
Each time the toggle switch is pressed up/down, the display advances to the next/previous display.  A 
message indicating what display mode is active is shown for one second.  After one second without the 
toggle switch being pressed, the selected display data is shown.  The card edge pushbutton is used to 
select sub-items where applicable. 
 

5.2. 

TOP LEVEL MENU STRUCTURE 

The following is a brief description of the top level of the menu tree that appears when you enter the 
Control menu.  Selecting one of these items will take you down into the next menu level. The details of the 
each of the displays are described in the sections 5.3 to 5.4. 
 

ADET 

 

Sub menu allows you to set parameters relating to the Audio detection 

DISP 

 

Allows you to set the orientation of the front panel display 

EDH 

 

Allows you to turn the EDH indication on an off 

FRST 

 

Resets the module to its factory reset values 

 

5.3. 

SETTING THE AUDIO CONTROLS 

The first group of menu items are used to configure the control items relating to the Audio.  The menu 
items for each channel are identical so for the sake of simplicity, only the menu items for 

A1

 channel are 

shown.
