General Tools and Instruments DPS16 - Manual (Page 13)

The H16’s file-naming convention uses the letters A through C to represent the months October
through December, and the letters A through V to represent days of the month from 10 through
31. For example, a file created on October 11 would begin with the letters AB (A for 10 and B for
11). As another example, a file created on November 30 would begin with the letters BU (B for 11
and U for 30.
Finally, the file-naming convention uses military (24-hour) time. For example, a name with the
last six digits 142531 would indicate a file created at 02:25:31 p.m.
NAVIGATING THE MAIN MENU
The main menu of the H16 provides access to the following housekeeping and operational
functions:
• Bulk file erasure
• Video exporting
• Setting the date and time
• Choosing a display language
• Selecting a TV format and adjusting video atrtributes
• Enabling/disabling and adjusting the Auto Power Off function
Menu mode has a hierarchical structure and uses prompts and dialog boxes familiar to anyone
who has used an Automated Teller Machine (ATM). The only constraint on using the menu is your
own response speed. If no selection is made within 10 seconds following Menu mode
startup, the console will automatically revert to Preview mode. The same time constraint
applies to selections within submenus. If you do not respond to a prompt (indicated by a
flashing word or line of text) within 10 seconds, the H16 will switch back to Preview
mode—its default operating state.
To access the main menu, press the OK button to enter Menu mode.
Doing so brings up the screen shown at right.
To navigate the main menu, use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to move up
and down until the parameter you wish to change is highlighted and
flashing in green. Then push the OK button to select it and call up
its submenu.
The DELETE ALL FILES line gives you two options (yes and no) that can be selected using the
▲
and ▼ buttons. The sequence is similar to the previously described procedure for deleting an
individual photo or video.
The AV OUTPUT line allows you to send the real-time video stream shown on the display unit out
through the unit’s TV out jack to an NTSC or PAL TV monitor. The H16’s display will turn black
until you select this option again. Before activating this function, make the physical connection
described in the “Viewing Live Video on a TV Monitor” section.
The DATE/TIME SETUP line allows you to set the H16’s calendar and clock. Doing so is
necessary only if you wish to keep track of your photo and video files by date and time.
When DATE/TIME SETUP is selected, the screen that appears has the year flashing in green. To
