5 Principles of Operation
5.1 Keypad and LCD Display - Overview
The basic functions of the RLC are configurable via the front panel keypad and screen.
Basic setup, test and monitoring of the controller is carried out via the front panel keypad and LCD
display. There are no controls inside the case.
The menus are arranged in an hierarchical structure with a consistent presentation format and key
operation. Ex
tensive use is made of the 4 ‘Function Keys’ above the main 16 key keypad and, in
conjunction with changing legends on the screen, intuitively guide the user through the various
steps.
Key features of the interface are shown below.
In the example to the left:
The 1
st
line indicates VHF Radio on 122.800MHz.
The 2
nd
line indicates Cell Radio on.
The 3
rd
line confirms the function of each key.
The 4
th
line represents the Function Keys.
Note that in some menus the boxes in the 4
th
line also give the current status of that function. For
example, in the Test Output (O/P) test mode, the relays can be set and unset individually. As they
change state the squares change from open to solid to indicate the active state.
Note that in some menus more information is provided and hence the exact layout above not
followed. The approach is the same and where there are differences instructions provided.
F4, usually marked ‘Exit’, returns to the previous level in the menu and in many screens accepts
the conditions set in that menu. If Marked ‘Quit’ then that screen is discarded before return.
Repeatedly pressing F4 will bring you back to the main menu.
