Menu Panel - Prism Sound ADA-8XR Operation Manual

Prism Sound ADA-8XR Multi-channel A/D D/A Converter

5.4 Menu Panel

Note that certain numeric parameters (such as analogue line-up levels) change dynamically
with the operation of the '←' and '→' keys, and do not need to be confirmed with
'Enter/Accept'.
For most operations, it is not necessary to navigate to the desired menu using the 'Menu'
keys ('↑' and '↓') since the blue Access buttons in the other panels jump immediately to the
menu or menus which apply to that area of the front panel. Where more than one menu is
associated with an Access button, repeated pressing of that Access button cycles through
them. The first press of any Access button jumps immediately to the last menu which was
accessed in the associated group, so repeated access to a common menu becomes a one-
button operation.
The Configuration/Stores buttons provide access to a store system of 24 stores, arranged as
four banks of six stores each. All of these stores are user-configurable, although some of
them initially contain factory default stores. Detailed description of the operation of the store
system is also contained in the Firmware Reference.
Pressing one of the numbered store buttons causes the name of that store to be shown in the
LCD display, along with an invitation to load (recall) it, and that store can then be loaded by a
single press of the 'Enter/Accept' key. The 'Bank' button cycles around the four banks of
stores.
To save (overwrite) a store with the current settings of the ADA-8XR, press the '→' key, at
which point an invitation to save is displayed after which 'Enter/Accept' begins the saving
sequence of operations, which include the opportunity to enter a 16-character name of your
choice, or to abort the operation.
A further press of the '→' key presents an invitation to clear (erase) the selected store.
If the selected store is already empty, only the saving operation is possible.
It is possible to 'Reload factory stores', as described in the Firmware Reference. This causes
the ADA-8XR to generate a number of useful default stores based on the I/O Modules fitted,
and store them in certain locations. Any manually-altered stores held in these locations are
then overwritten, but all other stores remain intact.

Operation Manual - Revision 1.00
The Menu Panel provides manual
control and inspection of all the
ADA-8XR's operating parameters, and
also contains the Configuration/Stores
buttons for loading and saving setups
of the ADA-8XR.
The operation of the Menu system is
detailed in the Firmware Reference. In
general, the 'Menu' keys ('↑' and '↓')
are used to navigate up and down
through the different menus at a
particular level, the 'Select/Change'
keys ('←' and '→') are used to select
different values for the parameter in the
current menu, and the 'Enter/Accept'
key is used to confirm the new setting
or to descend to a lower menu level.
