Previous page buttons .

Further presses of the Next Page Button
returns the display to the Status page.

Once selected the page remains on the LCD display until the user selects a different page, or after an
extended period of inactivity (LCD Page Timer), the module reverts to the status display.
If no buttons are pressed upon entering an instrumentation page, the instruments are displayed
automatically subject to the setting of the LCD Scroll Timer.
The LCD Page and LCD Scroll timers are configurable using the DSE Configuration Suite Software or
by using the Front Panel Editor.
The screenshot shows the factory
settings for the timers, taken from
the DSE Configuration Suite
Software.
Alternatively, to scroll manually through all instruments on the currently selected page, press the scroll
buttons. The ‘autoscroll’ is disabled.
To re-enable ‘autoscroll’ press the scroll buttons to scroll to the ‘title’ of the instrumentation
page (ie S1). A short time later (the duration of the LCD Scroll Timer), the instrumentation display
begins to autoscroll.
When scrolling manually, the display automatically returns to the Status page if no buttons are
pressed for the duration of the configurable LCD Page Timer.
If an alarm becomes active while viewing the status page, the display shows the Alarms page to draw
the operator’s attention to the alarm condition.
