Alphanumeric Display
The panel has an alphanumeric display (a VFD) at the top right:
The display has either 4 or 8 lines of 42 characters, depending on configuration. The characters
are tall (4×14) when the display is configured for 4 lines.
When the panel is in multi-destination mode, the contents of the display differ greatly from the
contents in the other modes.
The main difference between XY mode, SD mode, and SD mode with breakaway is the title in
the first line.
‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ button functions are available for scrolling the display.
The display has 4 columns:
•
Information (the left-most column, not labeled).
The first entry in this column is ‘X - Y’, ‘Single’, ‘1Dst/wBrk’, or ‘MultiDest” depending on the
mode in which the panel is configured, unless the operator has entered menu mode, or
setup mode or has pressed an ‘Information’ button.
The bottom-most entry in this column is always the page number of the display.
In MD mode, there are no entries in this column other than “MultiDest” and the page num-
ber. In the other modes, the third entry identifies the current destination.
•
Preview.
The preview column indicates what source will be routed to a destination when the operator
presses a ‘Take’ button.
This column is used only when the panel is in source preview mode. When the panel is
not in source preview mode, takes occur when the operator selects a source.
In MD mode, the preview column indicates the source(s) that will be routed to selected des-
tination(s) in the ‘Level/Dest’ column. After the take, they disappear from the preview col-
umn and re-appear in the status column.
In the other modes, the preview column represents either the levels of a source or the levels
of multiple sources under breakaway. After the take, they disappear from the preview col-
umn and re-appear in the status column. (If the take was unsuccessful, the preview column
remains unchanged.)
•
Status.
The status column indicates what source was routed to the destination.
In MD mode, the status column represents the sources routed to each of the destinations in
the ‘Level/Dest’ column.
