Menu Screen Organization and Components
Menu Category Selection
Menu category selection touch buttons are arranged along the bottom of
the screen (
Mode , Priority , Mask etc. in the example). Touching one of these
buttons takes you directly to that category. The currently selected category
is shown by the touch button turning gold.
Some configuration menus have additional subcategory selections avail-
able at the left edge of the menu. The selected subcategory button is colored
gold.
Delegation Group
Additional levels of delegation are needed in the Keyer menu, since it must
control all 8 (or 12 in a 3-M/E system) keyers. This highest level of delega-
tion is located on the left side of the menu, as a 2 x 4 grid of data pads (two
M/Es, each with four keyers). Data pads display limited status for a partic-
ular object. Touching a data pad delegates that object, and the rest of the
menu will then display information and controls for only that object. The
data pad of the selected object is colored gold.
Mode Selection
Each keyer has several types of operation, one of which can be chosen with
the Mode Selection touch buttons. Selecting one of these touch buttons
deselects the others (they are interlocked and act as “radio” buttons). In the
Keyer menu, when a particular mode is selected, the Parameter Control
area will display information for only that mode of the delegated object.
Different types and numbers of controls can appear, depending on the
capabilities of the selected mode.
Generally, touch buttons that are closely related to one another have a blue
background, though this is not necessarily an indicator that the buttons are
interlocked.
Parameter Control Area
In the Keyer menu example, a Parameter Control area contains function
selection touch buttons and soft knob pads for the selected operating
mode. Function selection touch buttons either toggle on and off or are part
of an interlocked group.The soft knob pads on the right allow individual
parameter adjustments, as described earlier.
