1.2 Menu structure
The relay’s menu is arranged in a tabular structure. Each setting in the menu is referred to
as a cell, and each cell in the menu may be accessed by reference to a row and column
address. The settings are arranged so that each column contains related settings, for
example all of the disturbance recorder settings are contained within the same column. As
shown in the figure, the top row of each column contains the heading that describes the
settings contained within that column. Movement between the columns of the menu can only
be made at the column heading level. A complete list of all of the menu settings is given in
the Menu Content tables (P72x/EH HI section).
