The display will show the current bearing in degrees.
When the preset knob is turned, the display will show the preset bearing.
The decimal points on the LED display blink
* when you turn the target position knob on the front panel
* rotation begins and is in progress
* when rotation is complete. At that time the display will blink for the programmed delay time before
further rotations are permitted. (Note - if the CW or CCW keys have been used, further rotations in the
same direction are not subject to this delay time)
5 - Preset rotating encoder
To preset rotation, turn the knob to the desired bearing. 3 seconds later, rotation towards the preset
position will start, with the display showing the bearing as it changes. "Err" is displayed if the preset
knob is turned to a position outside the rotation limits.
