Use the Left and Right Arrow to advance to the next entry field on the same menu line. Use the Input Dial to select values when editing.
  • Page 13 Setup Amps: – Use this menu item to establish and update each of the stations’ nominal current value to the satellite’s memory. These values are used by the satellite for Current Reaction Management (CRM) and Current Prediction Management (CPM). CRM allows the Network VP 3.0 to react to an out-of-tolerance current condition. This condition occurs when a station’s electrical current exceeded the boundaries of the tolerance setting for that station.
