3.6 Setting the Configuration
Introduction
This section describes the Configuration process. Configuration is the process of
setting the parameters and making connections. Parameters are configured by
means of a multi-level menu system (the Configuration tree) which is navigated
by the use of four control keys on the front panel. Each parameter has a unique
place in this tree structure.
The full tree structure of the Configuration Menu for each controller is shown in
Appendix C.
All parameters have default values. If you wish to use the default value there is
no need to configure the parameter.
You can connect the inputs of some blocks to the outputs of others to create more
complex functions. Application examples are given in Appendix A.
Navigating the Configuration Menu
Navigation through the Configuration Menus contained in Appendix C is via the
following simple steps:
1 Access the Configuration Menu as described in section 3.3.
2 To move down one level in the menu or to accept a parameter value press the
OK key.
3 To scroll through a range of permissible values or a list of available
parameters at the currently displayed level, press the Up and Down keys.
4 To go back one level in the Configuration Menu or to leave the displayed
parameter unchanged press the Cancel key.

shows the path to take:
