Lcd.interface - Lectronics VR Field Reference Manual

LCD Interface
While the software supplied with the VR Field System
may make setting up and operating the system quicker
and more efficient, the system can also be completely
set up and controlled via the front panel LCD and con-
trols. Direct interaction is provided using the front panel
controls and the LCD. A variety of menus and setup
screens are provided to assist with the setup and also
to allow for changing all parameters without the need to
connect a computer system.
The main components of the LCD interface are the
Function Button, BACK Button, Receiver Select But-
tons, MENU/SELECT rotary encoder/switch and the
LCD.
Note: Adjustments made through the LCD
interface are performed in real time. As each
setting is made, the results will be immediately
observed.
Types of Information Displayed
The information displayed via the front panel LCD
includes: powerup screens, receiver screens, TopMenu,
setup menus and setup screens (including scanning
functions).
Powerup Screens
A series of three screens is displayed when the unit
is first turned on. These Powerup screens identify the
firmware version and block configuration of the VRM
and installed receiver modules. They are followed by
the Overview Screen which displays the operating sta-
tus of the installed receiver modules.

Powerup Screen Sequence
Initial screen identifies firmware version and the operat-
ing frequency range of the system (Block Range). The
blocks have to be contiguous.
The second screen provides information for the user
that the VRM is detecting all installed receiver modules
within the designated operating range. (Modules out-
side of the block range identified in the first screen will
not be detected.)
The third screen identifies all installed receiver mod-
ules within the system's block range. Empty receiver
slots, or slots with receiver modules outside of the block
range identified in the first screen, will have an "X" dis-
played instead of frequency block number.
