Indicators

The IRD can be controlled via Compel network, front-panel using push-buttons and OSD (On-Screen Display) or LCD menus or the diagterm terminal using commands. The Compel is generally the primary method of controlling an IR. See the Compel Manual for a complete explanation.

The iPump 562 is set up at the factory. However, you can customize the settings to fit your system using the front-panel push-buttons and LCD screens or OSD menus. You may also view those settings and various status information using the front-panel LCD, LED or OSD screens.

LCD

Normally, the LCD on the front-panel displays Unit label and currently tuned channel parameters for information. Pressing Enter on the front-panel activates the LCD backlight. When the OSD menu is active, the LCD on the front-panel displays the OSD item currently selected. When certain status conditions, such as loss of signal occur, the LCD automatically gets activated with illuminated backlight and displays relevant information on the condition.

OSD

The On-Screen Display (OSD) menus are used to configure settings or monitor the status of the IRD. The OSD information displays white text on blue background overlying 80% of the video output viewed on a monitor connected to any of the video ports. The OSD screens are activated (displayed on video monitor) and the menus can be navigated using the push- buttons on the front-panel. On menus, a selected item is displayed with black text on white background. Following example represents one of the OSD menus available on iPump 562.
