The RM RDMS™ can be operated through its front panel interface or via the Ethernet-based remote client interface
(Remote RDMS
TM
Client). The client is capable of configuring, maintaining, and monitoring multiple receivers
within a network.
4.1 Front-Panel Control
The Rack-Mount Receiver’s comprehensive front panel interface includes (4) 64k-color liquid crystal displays
(LCDs) for displaying receiver status, configuration settings, and waveform graphics; individual function keys for
the most common settings; and a complete numeric keypad for convenient parameter entry.
In a single-channel configuration, waveform graphics are displayed on the left-most LCD and receiver settings are
on the second LCD from the left. A static Quasonix logo is shown on the two right-most LCDs.
In a dual-channel receiver, the two LCDs located to the left of the keypad are designated for Channel 1, while the
other two LCDs are designated for Channel 2, as shown in Figure 9. The LCDs for Channel 2 are oriented such that
the receiver settings are found on the left LCD—closest to the keypad—and the waveform graphics on the right
LCD.
