6.5 VIEWING THE INSTRUMENT PAGES
It is possible to scroll to display the different pages of information by repeatedly operating the next / previous
page buttons.
Example
Status
Engine
Generator
And so on until the last page is reached.
A Further press of the scroll right button, returns the display to the Status page.
The complete order and contents of each information page are given in the following sections
Once selected the page will remain on the LCD display until the user selects a different page, or after an
extended period of inactivity (LCD Page Timer), the module will revert to the status display.
If no buttons are pressed upon entering an instrumentation page, the instruments will be displayed
automatically subject to the setting of the LCD Scroll Timer.
The LCD Page and LCD Scroll timers are configurable using the DSE Configuration Suite Software or by
using the Front Panel Editor.
The screenshot shows the factory settings for
the timers, taken from the DSE Configuration
Suite Software.
Alternatively, to scroll manually through all instruments on the currently selected page, press the scroll
buttons. The ‘autoscroll’ is
disabled.
To re-
enable ‘autoscroll’ press the scroll
buttons to scroll to the ‘title’ of the instrumentation page (ie
Engine). A short time later (the duration of the LCD Scroll Timer) the instrumentation display will begin to
autoscroll.
When scrolling manually, the display will automatically return to the Status page if no buttons are pressed for
the duration of the configurable LCD Page Timer.
If an alarm becomes active while viewing the status page, the display shows the Alarms page to draw the
operator’s attention to the alarm condition.
6.5.1 STATUS
This is the ‘home’ page, the page that is displayed when no other page has been selected, and the page that
is automatically displayed after a period of inactivity (LCD Page Timer) of the module control buttons.
This page is configurable using the DSE Configuration Suite Software.
Factory setting of Status screen showing engine stopped...and engine running.
If you want to view one of the
instrument pages towards the
end of the list, it may be
quicker to scroll left
through
the pages rather than right!
