Controls and connections

Front panel controls

LCD display

The LCD display is a two-line, 40-character-per-line display. Almost all menus have two lines of text, where the first line shows
the current position in the current menu, and the second line shows the current selection (if there is not a submenu). If nothing is
on the second line, press the ENTER button to access the corresponding submenu.
You can adjust the contrast of the LCD display using the SYSTEM menu.

STATUS button

Use the STATUS button to view the status of instrument settings such as the GPS parameters, the format of the black outputs,
the format of the composite outputs, the format of the SDI outputs, and the status of the LTC signals. You can also view
messages explaining the cause of any red or orange fault LEDs on the front panel.
The STATUS button menu allows you to only view information about the settings and state of the instrument. Since no changes
to the instrument operation can be made from this menu, it is always safe to navigate this menu while the instrument is in
operation.
