FRONT PANEL MENU SYSTEM
The front panel menu system allows you to make all the necessary changes to configuration
and set up via the front panel buttons and liquid crystal display. You can navigate between
menus using the MENU LEFT and MENU RIGHT buttons, and navigate between items in each
menu by using the SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN buttons.
Items in all the menus can be chosen using the select button. Items in the TEST menu become
active as soon as they are selected.
Items in the OPTION and CONFIG menus become active only after the PROG button is pressed,
and new items selected in these menus are highlighted with an * until this time. Several items
may be changed, and then programmed in one operation. Note that changes will be discarded
if the menu is exited or the unit is left idle for 1 minute.
If changes have been made an extra item Program Items will appear at the bottom of the
menu (Config and Options only). Selecting this has an identical effect to pressing the
program key.
