two methods that are generally used to do this. We can use the keypad to select or type
them in or use the rotary knob to select them. Both systems are explained below:
•
Selection by keypad:
Every time you need to enter something using the
keypad, when you touch the relative window the keypad appears on the
screen. Depending on what you wish to enter, a different keypad appears. If it
is a numerical value only a numerical keypad appears, and if what you wish to
enter may be alphanumerical, in that case a complete QWERTY type keypad
appears on the screen.
•
Selection by rotary knob:
Some parameters are entered using the rotary
knob situated on the front. See Section 2 (Basic Control) for a complete
description on how it works.
The configuration selected remains in use from the moment it is selected. When the
equipment is turned off or reset, the configuration is automatically saved (without any
intervention by the operator), so when the equipment is rebooted, it starts with the last
configuration selected.
The Mentor 12 is a PLUG & PLAY system. This means that when one or more
amplifiers are inserted, whatever the type, the equipment immediately recognises their
existence and gets ready to use them. It is important to point out here that, once the
new hardware has been inserted, the equipment
will start up with the previously
existing configuration,
so if you wish to change it to see the new amplifiers you will
have to go to the Analog Output option.
Analog Outputs
We can find two types of Analog Outputs:
•
Power outputs:
These are the Power Amplifier outputs that the equipment
has. They can be Voltage or Current. These outputs are combined in different
ways to construct sources of one type or another, associated with the output
terminals on the terminal panel.
