Using the RSP8

Starting Up Your RSP8
When you fi rst start up your RSP8, either by plugging in the
connecting cable or by powering up the KSP8 to which it is
attached, there will
fi rst be a short pause, after which all LEDs
turn on for 1 second then turn off.
The display backlight then turns on gradually until it stabilizes;
self diagnostics run, and the joystick calibration is read from non-
volatile memory. After the RSP8 startup screen displays,
noti
fi cation that an RSP8 is connected is sent to the KSP8, and the
KSP8 and RSP8 synchronize their displays.
At this point you can control the KSP8 from either its front panel
or from the RSP8.
If the self diagnostics fail, you will be asked whether to continue
or recalibrate the joystick. See Appendix A of this manual for
details on how to proceed.
Adjusting the RSP8 Display
You can adjust the display contrast using the thumb knob to the
left of the display. Adjust for the most pleasing contrast when
viewing from your normal work position. It is normal for the
setting to change slightly as your work surface and RSP8 warm
up, so you may need to readjust the display after an hour or so.
By default the overall display and LED brightness will be at their
maximum, which is suitable for a brightly lit institutional area.
For a dimly lit studio you may desire to reduce the brightness.
Enter Master mode by pressing the MASTER soft button (the
button on the front panel that is just below the word MASTER on
the RSP8’s display), then press the UTIL soft button followed by
the REMOTE soft button. Scroll down to the fourth item,
Backlight, using the down cursor button. You can change the
value using the Alphanumeric Pad or the Alpha Wheel to any
value from 1 (minimum) to 127 (maximum). The brightness of the
LEDs will also change to match the display, although they will
not turn off completely.
