LCD Console
The AcquiSuite has an LCD console and two push buttons labeled “menu” and “select”. These can be used to configure
some of the basic features of the AcquiSuite. The intended purpose of the console is to configure the AcquiSuite to a point
where a computer can communicate with it for further detailed configuration.
When the AcquiSuite is running, it will show “AcquiSuite Ready” and the current time alternated with the ethernet IP
address. If you choose to enable the console display of data points, the LCD will also show the selected point names and
current reading values. The display will change to the next listed item about once every 10 seconds. If a data point name is
longer than will fit on the 16 character wide display, it will be scrolled. Pressing the select button will cause the display to
change to the next configured item. Pressing the select button quickly will skip through multiple display points.
Pressing the Menu button will cause the main menu to appear. Once [Main Menu] is shown on the console, the menu button
will change the menu option, and the select button will take action on the currently displayed option. Some options provide
sub menus, others allow you to edit the option value. The following is a tree display of the main menu and sub menus.

The
TCP/IP sub menu
will allow you to configure the ethernet settings for the AcquiSuite. To edit the IP settings, use the
menu button to change options, and press the select button to edit the option. Once selected, you will see the curent value
displayed and a blinking square cursor on the first character. Press the menu button to change the character or digit. Press
the select button to use the digit and move the cursor to the right one space. If you press the select button multiple times, the
cursor will move right a similar number of spaces, allowing you to skip over characters that may be correct based on the
previous settings. When you are finished entering the IP address, select a blank space with the menu button, and press
select. Any characters still remaining to the right of the cursor will be eliminated. (ie, if changing 128.193.100.200 to
10.0.0.1, the new ip address will be several digits shorter than the old one.
Network Status
: This option will test the ethernet connection by attempting to ping the following addresses: localhost,
ethernet ip address, gateway, dns1, dns2. The localhost ping will verify the kernel IP stack is properly initialized. The
