User’s Guide
Two keypad buttons have dual names.
MENU/TAB
is used
both as an entry button into the menu system, and to “tab” from
one screen area to the next. This tab method is identical to how
a PC interface uses it. So in some cases we will tell you to press
MENU
, in other cases press
TAB
. It’s the same button.
ZOOM/
VIEW
works the same way.
VX
3
also has four arrow keys, and
these may be either called
UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT
(or
UP DN LT
RT
) or represented with the symbols
. Any of these
representations might be used.
Most menus are nested, so instead of telling you to press
MENU
, then select the
Audio
menu, then select
Search Audio
,
then select
Discrimination
, then select
Modulation
, we may
instead say, select
MENU
Audio
Search Audio
Discrimina-
tion
Modulation
. This means to drill down through the stated
menu path.
Finally, there is a trigger switch under the pod. It has a nor-
mal (center) position, a forward position, and a momentary
pulled position. When we say “pull the trigger,” we mean to
pull it to the momentary position and release it. If we say “Pull/
hold the trigger,” then pull it back and hold it there. This might
be in conjunction with a key press, such as, “Pull/hold the trig-
ger and press
ENTER
,” which is the same as “
ENTER
.”
Layout
The
VX

interface consists of a keypad and a color screen.

out for the search screen. The search screen has four major
regions:
1. Target information
2. SpectraGraph
3. Status Bar
4. Live Control Bar
The target information includes the “VDI” number, the depth,
and icons representing the likely target. SpectraGraph displays
