highlight only the sequence of button presses typically necessary for just one of these activities, that is to say, with no
mistakes or back-tracking.
The following key will assist in understanding the "shorthand" of these flowcharts:
1. To the right (or sometimes above) each front panel function button—"1" through "4"—depicted on the flowchart is the
exact label for that button as shown on the LCD display at the current step in the programming.
2. With the exception of the top two LCD screen drawings in each flowchart, the word descriptions at various steps do not
necessarily appear on the LCD screens but are meant only to explain the action at these steps.
3. The appearance of the "
L
" icon indicates that the user must press one of the buttons depicted horizontally to the right
of it in order to execute a choice in the current step of the programming and advance to the next step.
4. A diamond ( " ) box indicates that the next step in the programming depends upon specific choices made up to that point.
For example, under the "Creating A New Temperament" flowchart, a box labeled "4 characters?" is encountered. If the
user has entered four characters for the temperament name at this point, the next step will follow the "YES" path
downward in the chart (at which point the LCD display re-labels the function buttons as indicated). If, at any given time,
this diamond box is encountered when less than four characters have been chosen (as is normally the case for at least
the first three times the box is encountered), the "NO" path is followed. In this example, that means that the function
buttons continue to allow positioning of the cursor under various characters and/or selecting (or removing) a character
from the current temperament name under construction.
NOTE: When deleting temperaments, the motor for the rotating strobe disc will always be turned off. The motor will
begin again upon returning to the RUN screen when temperament activity is concluded.
