4. Switches
The labels on the display define the function of the "soft" switches, i.e. the six above and the six below the
display is defined by the. The switches above usually select sub-menus indicated on the display. The
switches below usually perform a function.
Some menus do not make use of all the soft buttons. If there is no text on the display directly above or
below the button:
a) It performs no function in that menu.
b) It is performing the assigned function as displayed in the Sub-Menu status bar.
An LED in the button indicates whether it has been selected. A button may toggle a given function ON
and OFF, or it may be turned off by the selection of another function.
5. Control Knobs
Eight control knobs, four mounted on each side or the display, provide digital increment / decrement data
to the Main Unit. The value / status of each control is transmitted to the Main Unit through the RS-422
port. The corresponding response data from the Main Unit is displayed both graphically and numerically.
Once a control reaches the end of its range, continuing to turn the knob has no effect. When the default
setting for a control is not at one end of its range, there is a "dead spot" in the control at the point
corresponding to the default setting. When the control reaches its default setting, turning the knob further
momentarily has no effect. This facilitates setting an individual function to its default value.
