NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual | Choosing the Proper Operation Mode |
There are four push buttons on NPort’s nameplate. Going from left to right, the buttons are:
Button | Name | Action | |
MENU | menu | activates the main menu, or returns to an upper level | |
U | up cursor | scrolls up through a list of items shown on the LCM panel’s second line | |
V | down cursor | scrolls down through a list of items shown on the LCM panel’s second | |
line | |||
|
| ||
SEL | select | selects the option listed on the LCM panel’s second line |
The buttons are manipulated in a manner similar to the way a modern cellular phone operates. As you move through the various functions and setting options, note that the top line shows the current menu or submenu name, and the bottom line shows the submenu name or menu item that is activated by pressing the SEL button.
Detailed Menu Options
The best way to explain all of NPort’s LCM functions is to refer to the table shown on the next page. There are three main
The first thing to remember is that the MENU button is used to move back and forth between the LCM panel’s default screen, and main menu screen:
N | P | 5 | 6 | 1 | 0 | - | 1 | 6 | _ | 3 | 8 |

In addition, you only need to remember to:
•Use the SEL button to move up one level (i.e., left to right on the tree graph)
•Use the MENU button to move down one level (i.e., right to left on the tree graph)
•Use the cursor keys, U and V, to scroll between the various options within a level (i.e., up and down on the tree graph).
As you use the buttons to operate the LCM display, you will notice that with very few exceptions, moving up one level causes the bottom line of the display to move to the top line of the display. You will also notice that the bottom three options in level 2, and all of the options in level 3 have either a C or D attached. The meaning is as follows:
•C = configurable (i.e., you are allowed to change the setting of this option)
•D = display only (i.e., the setting for this option is displayed, but it cannot be changed) This does NOT necessarily mean that the number does not change; only that you cannot change it.
