The Operator Interface
Interface for User and Maintenance Levels
The operator interface for configuring and programming the MPC 6000/7000 uses
the 4 line by 20 character LCD display, the M1 through M4 buttons on the left and
right of the display and sixteen push buttons at the bottom of the interface. User
Level and Maintenance Level utilize the LCD display and the four buttons (two on
each side of the display) to navigate and alter the basic operation of the panel. The
display will show messages in the four corners of the display that will be adjacent to
the four buttons M1 through M4. The message on the display adjacent to the button
indicates the action that will occur when the button is pressed. Therefore pressing
M1 will cause the function labeled as "Menu 1" to be pressed.
