Rotate the shaft encoder and the bottom row will display the successfully polled cards by
name and location or slot number.
In the example above, the card displayed is located in the first frame in slot number 2.
When the desired card is selected press the ENTER key to access that card’s Home menu.
The message shows that a ShARC102-XP or ShARC204-XP has been selected with the
version of software on the module as V1.00. Depending on the software version and
whether a ShARC102-XP is being controlled, the output may differ from that shown
above.
If remote control has been enabled, the control panel will then enter card mode and
communicate with the ShARC-XP at the node number last displayed in the available
cards list.

Updating the display
The values displayed on an active front panel are only updated when an adjustment is
made and when changing menu level. If mode changes occur through the use of
Statesman, card edge controls or through automatic response to the input video signal, the
text displayed on the active front panel will not be updated immediately. If necessary,
press CAL to update the display.
4.2 The ShARC-XP menu structure
The main top-level menus are obtained by pressing the F1, F2 and F4 keys from the
HOME menu. Menu keys are illuminated when active and when further menus are
available. The three top-level menus are:
•
Channel 1 (Configuration) – press F1
•
Channel 2 (Configuration) – press F3
The following chart shows the available ShARC-XP menus. The actual menus available
may vary slightly as software is updated.
