THE SOFTWARE – THE MENU

Overview

The dCS 954 has many other functions that either need to be accessed only occasionally, or are informative in nature. These functions can be accessed either by the Remote software, running on a PC and connected to the unit by an RS-232 link - or (in most cases) by the Menu, via the front panel. If a function is set by the menu or the Remote, the unit remembers it, and it will be set this way for ever (or until you set it to something different). You can customise your unit in this way. Information-only items are displayed for a time, then the display reverts to normal.

Menu buttons are indicated by white text on the front panel. There are four:

	Step	otherwise the Active Input. This is the input
		selector button with the bright LED or the one
		furthest to the left if more than one is bright.
	Set	otherwise Mute
	Down	otherwise Phase
	Up	otherwise De-Emphasis
Entering the Menu

The Menu is entered by holding down the Step and then pressing the Set button once. The display will show:

F u n c

You are now in the menu, and the menu buttons now have their alternate meanings.

Moving through the Menu

Press the Step button again to step through the Menu items listed below. When you reach the required item, press the Set button to view or change its setting. This either displays the current state, or changes to the next state, or causes an information function to read out, or enters a lower level (as in the Tone generator, for example). If you have entered a lower level, pressing Step steps through its options. When you reach the one you want, press Set and then use the Up or Down buttons to increase or decrease a value (such as Level or Frequency on the Tone Generator).

If no changes are made in 5 seconds, the unit exits the Menu. When one item has been set, press the Step button again if you wish to continue cycling through the Menu.

There is a knack in doing this easily – once it has been gained, it becomes very easy to use the functions it accesses.
