Menu structure
All the functions and settings of the HUB24 are accessed through a menu. An overview
(first two levels) of this menu structure is shown in figure 4.1. Except where noted, the
menu will automatically return to the main screen after 20 seconds of no button presses
or encoder wheel movements.
The menu uses a “tree” structure, consisting of multiple levels of sub-menus with the
main screen being the start of the tree. Navigation of the menu entails highlighting a
sub-menu using the encoder wheel and pressing the large button to move to the
highlighted sub-menu level. The encoder wheel is then used to highlight the next sub-
menu, the large button is pressed again to move to another level, and so on.
