The keypad displays information as both text and animated graphics. There are two
types of content screens, selected by pressing the corresponding Navigation button:
Status and Menu.
The Status Screen (Figure 5-2) is the default screen that displays after exciter
startup, following an initialization screen. It uses animated meters with associated
text to present exciter performance data. An alternate Status Screen can also be
accessed (see Status Screen).
