Kalypso Reference Manual
Section 1 — System Overview
The actual location of and type of equipment installed in early model Main
panels varies, depending on date of manufacture. Some earlier designs
used Hard Disk drives with the Real Time (RT) processor, and some used
Disk on Chip hardware. Also, drives may be mounted directly on the pro-
cessor boards or on separate brackets. If modified for Enhanced Menu
panel operation, unnecessary hardware is removed and some rear connec-
tors become inactive.
Regardless of the equipment involved, the various model Kalypso systems
generally operate identically, except late model systems do not have floppy
disk drives.
Menu Panel
The Menu panel provides access to additional system controls that gener-
ally do not require real time adjustment. The Menu panel can be installed
above or to either side of the Main panel, and should be oriented so the
screen directly faces the operator. Additional Menu panels can also be con-
figured with a Kalypso Control Surface.
Two models of Kalypso Menu panel exist, an Enhanced Menu panel and
the Original Menu panel. The Enhanced Menu panel operates with late
model Main panels (or modified early model panels). The Original Menu
panel only works with unmodified early model Main panels.
The Enhanced Menu panel (
) includes a touch screen display, five
knobs for adjusting parameter values, a cooling fan, and an internal
CD-ROM drive. This model houses the Menu System Processor and runs
the Windows 2000 operating system.
