AFX Series Power Source Operation Manual
LCD DISPLAY
Function
These keys select the available top-level menus. Sub menus may be
accessible using any of the available soft keys within each top-level
menu.
Soft keys change function as indicated by the decal directly to the
left of the soft key on the LCD display.
See next section for details on shuttle operation.
The decimal key pad is used to enter parameter values directly.
Values may also be set using any available soft key or the shuttle.
The ENTER key confirms a selection or setting made with the
decimal key pad. Until confirmed by pressing the ENTER key,
selections and values will be shown grayed out on the LCD display
to indicate they have been edited/changed but have not yet taken
effect. This allows multiple parameters in the same screen to be
edited with all new setting values taking effect at once when the
ENTER or UPDATE ALL soft key is pressed.
The escape key backs out of a menu or selection and returns to a
previous level.
This key backs up one position erasing the last digit value entered.
The OUTPUT ENABLE key is used to toggle the output on or off. If
the output is ON, this key will be lit.
Returns the instrument to local control mode allowing front panel
operation. This key may be disabled over one of the remote control
interfaces. While in REMOTE, the keyboard is locked out.
The LOCAL key can also be used to capture an LCD Image and store
it as a .png image file in internal memory. To do so press and hold
the LOCAL key, then press the 1 key. Screen images are saved in
folder "internal/screenshots".
The PHASE key is used to select a specific phase on three phase
models. On single phase models, the selected phase is always A and
this key has no function.
