Figure 5-1: Shuttle Knob
The shuttle knob is located to the right of the LCD screen and is used to change setup parameters. Note
that it cannot be used to move the cursor position between menu fields. Use the UP and DOWN arrow
keys in the FUNCTION keypad for this.
The shuttle knob can operate in one of two distinct modes of operation:
MODE DESCRIPTION
IMMEDIATE mode
Any time the ENTER key is pressed, the BPS Series returns to its
normal mode of operation. In this mode, changes made with the
shuttle knob or the data entry keypad will take immediate effect. The
IMMEDIATE mode is useful for slewing output values such as
voltage and frequency and observing the effect on the load.
SET mode
When the SET key located in the FUNCTION keypad is pressed,
changes made with the shuttle to any output parameter will not take
effect until the ENTER key is pressed. In this mode, any changes
made to a setup menu will be blinking to indicate the pending change
condition. This mode allows changes to be made to all output
parameters and executing them all at once by pressing the ENTER
key.
