Control of MX-2100 Operation
Front Panel Operating Instructions
All the operations that can be performed from the front panel are performed using
an interactive, menu-driven, user-friendly interface.
The user interface is controlled by means of the LCD display and three
push-buttons. The MX-2100 guides you in the execution of the required task by
means of simple and clear messages, presents the range of available functions and
parameter values, and checks your inputs.
Moreover, the MX-2100 will present to you only those functions and parameter
values available in the currently-configured operating mode for the modules
installed in your MX-2100.
If you make a configuration error, e.g., you select a parameter value that conflicts
with the current operating mode, the MX-2100 rejects the erroneous selection,
displays for a few seconds an error message that identifies the error, and then the
display returns to its previous state.
You will find detailed instructions for operating the MX-2100 in
Chapter 4,
Operation
. The configuration error messages, and instructions for correcting the
problem that is indicated by the error message, are given in the Alarms appendix.
