Front Panel Screen Types
The front panel uses the following five screen types:
■
Menu Navigation Screen
– A menu comprised of other menu groups categorized according to a
common parameter-setting subject (such as: video, audio, unit and so on). This menu can also
contain parameters.
■
Edit Menu Screen
– A parameter that allows managing configuration parameters and displays
values of read-only parameters.
■
Table Menu Screen
– Displays a table of information. Some tables are configurable, in which
each entry selection directly links to further menus.
■
Edit Value Screen
– Allows setting a parameter using the alphanumeric touch-pad.
■
Select Value Screen
– Allows the user to select a value from a list.
NOTE:
The front panel can display only up to four items simultaneously. When a menu or screen has more than
four items, the first four are visible on the front panel and additional items can be accessed by scrolling (using
the
Up and
Down arrows). To illustrate the difference between the displayed items and the scrolled
items, two types of screen-shots are used in this manual: dark grey (or green) for the visible four items and
light grey for the scrolled items. The two screen-shot types are separated by a scroll icon (
).
