9.7 Network activity LED
Located above the Rotary Encoder is an ultra-bright
white LED. This LED illuminates when there is
network activity between the DLC PLM Edition
software and the PLM.
The Network Activity LED can be dimmed
via the front panel (Frame, Front,
Dimming).
This feature is useful for two reasons:
1) It provides visual confirmation that there is network
communication between the DLC PLM Edition
software and PLM.
2) It enables the engineer to visually confirm which
PLM is selected via the DLC PLM Edition software,
especially if parameters are being changed.
9.8 Rotary encoder
The rotary encoder is used to alter various PLM
parameters (e.g. input level) in conjunction with the
various display pages. When a menu item is selected
that can have its parameter value adjusted by the
rotary control, the ring around the knob illuminates.
Turn the encoder clockwise to increment the selected
parameter or anti-clockwise to decrement it.
With several PLM parameters, it is possible to enable
a combination of input and output channels to be
simultaneously adjusted. To select which channels
are adjusted press the associated soft button. This
toggles the displayed parameter value between
normal text and ‘inverse video’ text. When highlighted,
the rotary controller alters the parameter value. Note:
Certain MENU screens, such as MENU > Module >
Limiters > ISVPL, permit parameters to be adjusted
across all four output channels simultaneously by
default. An example is given below:
1.
first select the parameter that requires
changing via the MENU screen. e.g. ISVPL.
