Selecting which Operating Panel to use

The Operating Panel offers all necessary control functions for normal operation of the
SN90.
Context
The controls provided by the Operating Panel are
arranged in logical functional groups. This offers
you clear and easy operation with fast access to key
functionality. The majority of the SN90 functions can
be accessed using the trackball on the Operating Panel
and the menu system shown in the SN90 presentation.
Tip
You can also use a standard computer mouse to control the SN90. The mouse can be
connected to either the Operating Panel or directly to the Processor Unit.
The SN90 supports two different operating panels. These are referred to as "Mk1" and
"Mk2".
• : The Operating Panel is connected to the Processor Unit with three cables. The
Mk1
dual interface cable provides power and serial communication. The USB interface
cable is used to read the trackball movements. A small commercial power supply is
used to provide power to the SN90 Operating Panel.
• : A dedicated Ethernet cable is used to connect the Operating Panel to the
Mk2
Processor Unit. The Operating Panel is provided with a built-in power supply.
