Chapter 5: Configuring Text Displayed On-Screen

This chapter describes how to modify settings related to text displayed by the dome. It includes
settings for displaying dome status information, names, diagnostics, and pointing direction. It
also provides instructions for programming names and configuring text display options.
When On-Screen Text Display is selected from the Dome Configuration Menu, the
following screen appears:
Use this screen to display dome status information, enable or disable the display of all name
information, display diagnostic information after a dome reset, and display direction
information about where the dome is pointing. You can also start the Name Configuration
Menu and the Text Attribute Options screens.
•
To change the settings, move the highlight bar to the appropriate field and make the changes.
• To return to the Dome Configuration Menu, select Exit.

Displaying or Hiding Status Information

You can choose to display the status of the zoom setting, auto iris, and auto focus. This
information appears in the upper left corner of the monitor (Figure 60). The information only
appears when there is a change in the status of any item and remains on the screen for
5 seconds. If "D" appears next to the zoom factor, the digital zoom is active (zooms greater
than 22X).
