10.1 Menu groups

This section provides a quick guide to the menus and their functions, providing a list of menus in each menu group, the parameters available in each menu, and the values that each parameter can take (factory values are underlined). There is also, wherever appropriate, a reference to the section of the manual in which the func- tion is described. Wherever a menu function is applicable to only a certain type or types of DTRS unit, this is indicated.

Please also note the section 10.2, “Alphabetical list of menu items”, which allows you to find menu functions from an alphabetically-sorted list.
