5 Operating Modes
The DSM150 has two main operating modes including normal viewing of information in the favorite
screens mode (Section 5.1) and the menu mode (Section 5.2). Also, the control mode is a submode
of the favorite screens mode, in which certain control and reset functions may be performed (Section
5.3).
5.1 Favorite screens modes
After the power up screen (see Section 3.1), the DSM150 always enters the favorite screens mode. In
the favorite screens modes, the DSM150 displays one of up to sixteen
“favorite” screens. Each
“favorite” screen can display one, two, three, or four information displays. Each information display
can show any displayable data in any display type supported by that data. In favorite screens mode,
the DSM150 can operate in one of two ways:
Manual mode
– a particular “favorite” screen remains on the display until you select another one,
or
Auto mode
– the DSM150 automatically cycles between “favorite” screens, at time intervals which
are individually programmable for each “favorite” screen.
An example screen of the DSM150 running in favorite screens mode can be seen in Figure 6 below.
Figure 6
– DSM150 Running in Favorite Screens Mode
The very bottom left hand corner of the screen shows two important parameters: 1) it indicates which
favorite screen is being displayed (in this case Favorite #5), and 2) it indicates that the DSM150 is
currently operating in the
Auto mode. Manual would appear in place of Auto if the DSM150 was
operating in Manual mode.
