3. HOW TO OPERATE THE GRATICULE GENERATOR
USING THE RACK MOUNT CONTROL PANEL
The standard Graticule Generators version consists of a 1 RU chassis with integrated control panel. The
Graticule Generator is also available in a remote control version, which has a blank front panel and either
a rack mountable, or a desktop remote control panel. Operation of the Graticule Generator from the
integrated control panel or the rack mount control panel is identical and is described in this chapter. For
information on controlling the Graticule Generator from the desktop remote panel see chapter 4. For
information about connecting the rack mount remote panel to the Graticule Generator electronics see
section 2.5
3.1. AN OVERVIEW OF THE KEY AND DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
The display area consists of a 16 digit alphanumeric display, 11 LED status indicators and a 24
pushbutton keypad.
The keypad is used to select and control the attributes, position and size of each of the Graticule
Generator objects. The Setup menu provides a means of setting overall constraints on the Graticule
Generator, allowing you to configure the device to your application. Ten user preset buttons and one
factory preset button allow you to save and recall frequently used collections of objects, to simplify
operation of the Graticule Generator.
