Backup State Display, Verify State Display

To move a loaded track from its current Track index position into the selected Track index or to load a currently unloaded track into the selected Track index, scroll through the list of available tracks until the desired track is located. The display will indicate your choice of both the selected track to be moved or loaded, and the destination Track index. Press the STO key to complete the operation and load the track.

Backup State Display

The Backup state is accessed via the Load Track state by choosing (scrolling to) the desired Project and then pressing SHIFT + SLIP. There are two menu choices that can be displayed, corresponding to two styles of Backup. Use the Up/Down arrow keys or the Wheel to toggle between the two Backup options. The first Backup option is:

Only currently mounted disk volumes will be shown as choices for the target of the backup operation. Press CLR to cancel the Backup state and return to the Normal state.

Verify State Display

In the Verify state, the display is used for operator interface messages which usually request a Yes/No answer or require a number to be entered (such as a password) before normal operation can be resumed.

Error State Display

The Error state will cause the ERROR LED to flash red and show a message in the display indicating an action can not be implemented or gives some other instruction. This state may also present various information messages indicating system status, disk mount status, an event has timed out, or that some type of operation (such as disk formatting) is requiring the system to wait until the operation is finished.

01234567890123456789	20 position LCD character positions
Error: nnnn	Top: (nnnn indicates the error message number)
Tttttttttttttttttttt	Bottom: (t indicates a possible text message)

It is necessary to clear the Error state to return the front panel keys to normal operation. Most error messages can be cleared from the display by pressing the CLR key.
