5.13 Special CHPA Functions
The user may request basic features such as CHPA states and Control modes directly using
front panel buttons. Most CHPA features, however, require a more sophisticated user interface.
To provide logical access to this information, these special CHPA features are grouped into
menu categories.
5.13.1 Factory Authorized Access Mode
Two levels of category access are available:
•
User Authorized (limited write/limited read)
•
Factory Authorized (unlimited write/read)
Factory Authorized access is granted upon the entry of a security code (FAAC—Factory
Authorized Access Code). This feature prevents users from setting or using special features that
could cause damage to CHPA if misused. These settings and features are included to facilitate
manufacturing and servicing.
5.14 Terminology
Various CHPA features, settings, and controls are grouped according to the following
hierarchy:
Category—Top-level group
Function—Data entry or data display selection within a category
Entry—Data entry or data review within a function
Access to the hierarchy is as follows:
Category—Press the MENU button to toggle through the accessible categories. Category names
appear on Line 3.
Function—When the t symbol appears next to a category, press the FUNCTION button to
toggle through the accessible functions (viewed on Line 4) under that category.
Entry—When the symbols appear next to a function, press either the up or down arrow
keys to toggle through valid entries.
Category—Computer Interface Parameters
Function—Baud Rate (Pressing the FUNCTION button would toggle through other
available entries such as Parity, Print ASCII, and so on.)
Entry—9600 (Pressing either arrow key will cycle through the other potential entries:
4800, 2400, 1200, 600, 300.)
