Selecting the information to be shown on the signs
The controller uses the database (including the destination list) loaded from Helen to populate the vehicle's
signs. Route/destination information and/or adverts and other information can be stored in the database.
The DG3 manages this information by accessing a range of codes. Repeatedly pressing the F/E key when
the controller is in the driver’s operational mode will cause the controller to cycle through the code options
available to select the destination and in-bus displays required.
In normal operational mode, the default position of the DG3 is to show the current route / destination code
(in driver's operational mode): the controller will revert to this state after 20 seconds of inactivity, regardless
of what has been showing on its screen. Although rarely needed by the vehicle driver, the lock code is
also included in this cycle. For more details, please refer to section 3.5 Accessing other functions of the
DG3.
Destination code
The destination code, accessible if the configuration code DN is set to enable (refer to Appendix E:
Configuration Code Options), determines the information shown on the destination and in-bus signs and
is used in a standard configuration. The information is usually in the form of a place name and/or route
number whilst the code itself is a four to ten-digit number. It is shown on the front of the controller as Dest
no:.
In the example below, the controller is set to show destination code 23: if the operator does not select
another destination code within 20 seconds, it will default to showing the destination details for code 23.
Suppose the choice was made to change from destination code 23 (route 382, destination Lion Green via
Town Centre) to destination code 14 (route 73A, destination Brownford).
The keystrokes and results would be as follows:

Where changes are being made to the settings behind the lock code, the user is asked
whether or not they wish to save those changes: if the user makes no decision, the controller
will assume the changes are required and save them by default.
