Display Top
The “Display Top” function allows the user to select what information is
displayed at the top right corner of the Yellow part of the display. One selection is “
Ant
Type
” and is to display the array type selected by the operator. The second function
“
Act Pos
” and is to display the actual array direction in Degrees when an array is
physically mounted offset from usual compass directions and the offset function is
used.
The third function “
Req Pos
” is to display the requested position which will read
the compass direction in D
egrees. Another function is “
Relay

actual on or off condition for whatever direction is selected of all the switched outputs

right corner blank.

Display Off
The “
Display Off
” function allows the user to set the time that the screen
saver will take before turning the display to a dim single dot jumping around the screen.
The time can be set for many values between 15 minutes and three hours. It can even
be disabled by this function. These organic screens are new technology and their
lifetime may be affected by long term high brightness use. Especially if the Brightness is
set to higher than a 3 level. To be on the safe side we have included the screen saver
function. To select the time of the screen saver time out or to disable it depress the Hi-Z
knob and rotate it until you see the “Display Off” function. Depress the knob again and
the current value of time will be displayed. Rotating the knob will then bring up all the
values available including the “Disabled” one. Select the value you want and depress
the knob again and you will be back to the Direction readout screen.
