CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION

The Main Operating Screen

The Main Operating Screen is the default screen when the DS5 is in use and it provides the operator with an

instant display of various continuously measured parameters as well as the selected input voltage and

output current ranges. Depending upon the status of the DS5 it will also display certain icons which are

used to warn or prompt the operator of necessary action or excessive input/output conditions.

Figure 3.2 Main Operating Screen Zones

The main operating screen is divided into 10 zones which are used dynamically under different conditions.

Zones F1 and F2 are generally used to indicate functions for the F1 and F2 keys, while the F3 and F4 zones

tend to be used for purely informative purposes (although they are used to indicate the scroll up and scroll

down functions of F3 and F4 in the Options Menu). Zones A to G display various icons, text and graphs

which are fully described in Table 3.1.
