4.2.1 Introduction
At power-on the Encoder runs through a boot sequence (boot time without any option modules
is approximately 45 seconds). An initial Input Monitor screen is shown.
4.2.2
Navigating the Display and Menu Screens
Each of the menu items on the display has a connection to a softkey (see Figure 4.1). Press
the associated softkey to select the required option. Use the + and – softkeys to scroll through
the choices in the option or use the keypad on the far right of the display to change options
(unless indicated otherwise in the display).
The last item in the right-hand corner of each menu is
Quit.
This causes the display to revert
to the previous menu in the hierarchy. The screens displayed in this Reference Guide are only
representations - there might be differences between equipment, depending upon the options
chosen.
NOTE…
In the Encoder menus when it states that you may “update using softkeys” you can use both softkeys
and keyboard keys for some options.

How to Use the Keypad
Each key on the keypad has more than one inscription. One press of a key makes the number
appear on the display screen, two quick presses make the first letter appear etc. All keys are
cyclic, displaying their assigned characters in sequence. In certain options only letters or
numbers may be available.
Each softkey on each side of the
display is used to access, select
and sometimes amend the menu
item associated with it.
Where there is a +/- sign
associated with a
softkey, this scrolls
through a set of options.
This keypad is used to amend
the menu option which has
been selected (unless
indicated otherwise).
