Front Panel Display

Screen Saver

The power system has a front panel screen saver that significantly increases the life of the LCD display by turning it off during periods of inactivity. As shipped from the factory, the screen saver comes on one hour after activity on the front panel or interface has ceased.

When the screen saver is active, the front panel display turns off, and the LED next to the Line switch changes from green to amber.

To restore the front panel display, simply press one of the front panel keys. The first action of the key turns the display on. Subsequently, the key will revert to its normal function.

If the Wake on I/O function is selected, the display is restored whenever there is activity on the remote interface. This also resets the timer on the screen saver. As shipped, Wake on I/O is active.

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Select System\Preferences\Display\Saver	Not Available.
Enable or disable the screen saver by checking
or unchecking the Screen Saver checkbox.
Then Press Select.
Enter a value in minutes in the Saver Delay
field to specify the time when the screen saver
will activate.
Check Wake on I/O to activate the display with
I/O bus activity.

Contrast

You can set the contrast of the front panel display to compensate for ambient lighting conditions. The contrast can be set from 0% to 100% in increments of 1%. As-shipped, the contrast is set to 50%.

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Select System\Preferences\Display\Contrast	Not Available.
Enter a contrast value in the Contrast box.
Then Press Select.

View

You can specify how the output channels are displayed at turn on.

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Select System\Preferences\Display\View	To display all channels:
Check 1-channel to display channel one.	DISP:VIEW METER4
Check 1-channel to display channel one.
Check 4-channel to display all channels.
