THE SOFTWARE – THE MENU
Overview
The dCS 900 / 902 has many other functions that either need to be accessed only
occasionally, or are informative in nature. These functions can be accessed
either by the Remote software, running on a PC and connected to the unit by an
RS-232 link - or (in most cases) by the Menu. If a function is set by the menu or
the Remote, the unit remembers it, and it will be set this way for ever (or until
you set it to something different). You can customise your unit in this way.
Information only items are displayed for a time, then the display reverts to
normal.
Menu buttons are indicated by white text on the front panel. There are for:
Step otherwise Overload Level
Set
Down otherwise Master/Slave
Up otherwise Output Format (dCS 902 only)
Entering the Menu -
The Menu is entered by holding down the Step button and then pressing the Set
button once. The display will show:
Func
You are now in the menu, and the menu buttons now have their alternate
meanings.
Moving through the Menu -
Press the Step button again to step through the Menu items listed below. When
you reach the required item, press the Set button to change its setting. This
either toggles the previous state, or causes an information function to read out,
or enters a lower level (as in the Tone generator, for example). If you have
entered a lower level, pressing Step steps through its options. When you reach
the one you want, press Set and then use the Up or Down buttons to increase
or decrease a value (such as Level or Frequency on the Tone generator).
If no changes are made in 4 seconds, the unit exits the Menu. When one item
has been set, press the Step button again if you wish to continue cycling
through the Menu.
There is a knack in doing this easily – once it has been gained, it becomes very
easy to use the functions it accesses.
