Navigating The Menu System - Parker 590+ DRV Product Manual

Navigating the Menu System

The Menu System can be thought of as a map which is navigated using the four keys shown
opposite.
• Keys E and M navigate through the menu levels.
• The up (▲) and down (▼) keys scroll through the Menu and Parameter lists.
Menus can contain other menus at a lower level in the tree structure, parameters, or a mixture
of both.
The keys are used as above to select a parameter (a parameter has a selection (i.e. ON/OFF) or
a value displayed on the bottom line).
HINT: Remember that because the Menu and Parameter lists are looped, the key can
quickly move you to the last Menu or Parameter in the loop. The keys will repeat if you
hold them down. This is an easy way to step through and view a menu's contents.
Changing a Parameter Value
With the Parameter you want on view, three of the keys now perform different functions:
• Change a selection (i.e. ON/OFF) using the up (▲) and down (▼) keys.
• Change a value as follows:
The up (▲) and down (▼) keys increment/decrement the value at a rate determined by
the right hand character of the value, indicated by the appearance of a cursor.
♦ If the cursor is positioned as 100.0 ,then the value will change by tenths of a unit
♦ If the cursor is positioned as 100.0, then the value will change in whole units, etc.
The up (▲) and down (▼) keys will repeat if you hold them down and, at a preset point, the cursor
will progressively move one character to the left and increment/decrement the value at an increased
rate.
Alternatively, you can move the cursor manually by pressing the M key. Repeated pressing moves
the cursor right to left along the value.
The cursor times-out after approximately half a second, so use the M key and up (▲) and down
(▼) keys promptly once the cursor is in position.
NOTE
A cursor appears under all numerical values except for parameters in the Diagnostics and Alarm Status menus whose values provide
information only.
