ST VERSION DESCRIPTION ENG

13.9FRONT PANEL OPERATION

As described at par. 11.1, Falcon 15 user interface consists of a front panel-mounted jog-wheel, two buttons and an LCD screen. The LCD screen displays menus, parameter settings and several bargraphs (Level Meters or processing activity).

The menus are used for the processing parameters adjustement.

Rotating the jog-wheel lets You browse up or down through menus and parameter choices.

Pressing the jog-wheel (called “clicking”) selects the blinking menu item or parameter choice. When editing the parameter values, rotating the jog-wheel adjusts the parameter’s value up (by rotating CW) or down (CCW).

Once the desired value is reached, clicking the jog-wheel twice saves the value and returns the display to the upper menu level. You can return to the upper menu without saving by pressing the Esc key or by choosing the ‘Esc’ option.

Thus pressing (or clicking) the jog-wheel serves, depending upon the LCD screen status, as an Enter, Select or Return command.

Please note that when a new value is only displayed – even blinking – it is immediately loaded into the equipment processing so that the user can get a real time response.

Enter function is achieved by pressing ‘Enter’ button, too.

Esc/Return function is achieved by pressing ‘Esc’ button, too.

It is useful to remark that you can access all the menu settings and parameters also in a faster and more confortable way trough the supplied PC control software, which allows an easy and effective remote monitoring and control, too. When the Falcon 15 control is taken by the PC application in a bidirectional mode (see Chapt. 17), any access to the menu via the front panel keys is not allowed and the message “Remote Pc Host in Control” is displayed.

In order to prevent any modification to the Processor configurations, the Front Panel keyboard may be locked (‘Lock’ procedure is available via the Pc software ).

To save the changes, firstly press Enter to get the Save function and then a second time to confirm

Press Esc to escape the menu without saving and get the upper menu level

Press Esc to get the upper menu level.
