MODE TITLE: In the upper right corner the title of the current RC4080 mode is displayed – in this
example MANUAL designates that the RC4080 is currently in manual mode.
NOTE: if the mode title is preceded by an exclamation point (!), the mode was initiated by a remote
command.
DATA LABELS: Since each mode presents a unique set of data, labels describing the data must be
presented. The label will typically be followed by a colon to delimit between the label and the actual data.
In the example shown, AZIM: is the label for the current platform azimuth angle.
DATA VALUES: The current value of relevant data for the mode is displayed following the appropriate
data label. In the example, the current platform azimuth angle (AZIM:) is -8.4. Likewise, the satellite
(SAT:) is GALAXY 28.
USER PROMPTS: Since each mode requires unique (but similar) keypad inputs, prompts for relevant
user action are included on the fourth line to the extent possible. In the above example, <MODE> tells
the user that pushing the mode key will transition the RC4080 to MENU mode. There are several types
of user data inputs as described in 2.1.2.1.3.
USER INFORMATION: When room allows, information about the current state of the RC4080 is
displayed. In the above example, "SPD:FAST" describes the fact that since the RC4080 is currently
configured for a jog in fast speed.
TIME: In some modes where data (such as azimuth position) may not change for long periods of time,
the current time is displayed to reassure the user that the RC4080 is functioning. In the above example,
the current system time (20:53:18) is displayed with the colon flashing once per second.
ALARM STATUS: While not shown in the above example, row 4 is used to display any alarm conditions
the RC4080 has detected. The alarm message will alternate with the text normally on row 4. See section
3.1.2 for more description of the alarm system.
