Display and Switches

The main display is an eight character LED matrix display. It has been set so that when fitted into a 3U

'proper' way up. (At time of writing it is not possible to fit the V64xx HD products into the V1602 1U rack!)
The three action buttons are labelled Select,
the menus. A short press will move down one level, while pressing and holding for about half a second

been changed or that it is no longer on its CAL value.

Remote/Local Control

The lowest switch selects between Local control and Remote control over DART:
Local Control is from the front panel itself.
Rem Control is from the DART system. This requires the use of an external
controller running a suitable programme, which communicates with multiple
racks using the Dartnet protocol.
