The brightness of the display during ope
ration is set by adjusting the “Run” slider. The default setting is 100.
The “User Idle” slider is used to adjust the brightness of the display during periods of inactivity. The default
setting is 5. Use caution when adjusting the “Run” slider. It is possible to set the brightness to zero (0), in
which case the screen will go black and you will be no longer able to see the settings. Should this occur, it is
possible to tap the screen in the general area of the run slider. If you tap the screen in the proper position of
the slider, it can set the slider to make the screen visible again. It is recommended that the slider not be adjusted
below 20.
When adjusting the “User Idle” slider, the screen will temporarily adjust to the setting of the slider as you move
it. If you choose a value of zero (0), the screen will go black. However, once you lift your finger, the screen will
return to the “run” brightness level after a couple seconds.
To enable the backlight dimming function, use the “Switch state to User Idle” drop-down menu and select a
time period for no activity at which the screen should dim. The delay time can be set at fixed intervals from 1
minute up to 30 minutes. To disable the dimming feature, select “Never”.
Once all settings are com
plete, press the “OK” button and then press the “OK” button at the top right of the
“Display Properties” window to return to the MCT application and begin normal operation.
10.13 Configuration
The Configuration utility allows the user to back up the entire configuration of the MCT and save it to a file for
“safe keeping” in case of system damage due to a lightning strike, etc. The utility also allows the MCT to be
configured with a push of a button by selecting from a list of preconfigured setups that could be created and
saved on a USB memory device or remote server for loading a configuration to a new MCT system.
