4.6 Front Panel Menu Trees and Screens
There are four menu trees used to control the RCS20: CONFIG SWITCH, CONFIG SYSTEM,
MONITOR/ALARMS, and TEST. These menu trees are shown in flowchart form in Figures 3-2 to 3-
5. Each block in a menu tree flowchart represents a data entry screen, and the arrowed lines
between the blocks represent movement between screens in response to front panel key presses.
Each menu tree diagram is accompanied by a set of figures detailing each data entry screen and
the result of key presses for that data entry screen. The CONFIG SWITCH screens are shown in
Figure 3-x through 3-x, the CONFIG SYSTEM screens are shown in Figures 3-x through 3-x, the
MONITOR/ALARMS screens are shown in Figures 3-x through 3-x, and the TEST screens are
shown in figures 3-x through 3-x. These screen figures are annotated with explanations of the
displayed parameters and details on editing the parameters for each screen.
