Chapter 3:
Operation - Front Panel Controls
2. Scroll through the list using the control knob, until the desired sub-menu is
highlighted. Press the Enter button to enter the sub-menu.
3. Use the control knob and Enter button to choose and activate the option you
want. If there are further sub-menus, use the procedure in step 2 to select
between them, and to select the option you wish to change.
Pressing the Exit button while in a menu or sub-menu will return you to the previous
sub-menu, or if you are at the Main Menu, to the Idle Screen.
Changing Parameters
Once you have selected the option you wish to change, use the control knob to set the
new value for the parameter. When setting parameters that have discrete value options
(such as selecting Field, Frame, or Strobe mode), the control knob will cycle through
the valid settings.
For parameters which have a numerical range of values, the display will show both a
numeric and a visual representation of the range, and the control knob can be used to
set the new value.
Note that adjustments affect the output immediately as the knob is turned.
When setting parameters with a numerical range of values, you can switch the control
knob between Fine and Coarse adjustment mode. When you first enter the parameter
adjustment screen, the control knob is in Fine mode. Pressing the Enter button
switches to Coarse adjustment mode, and the Enter button lights up. This allows you
to make large adjustments more quickly. Pressing Enter again returns the control
knob to Fine mode.
For example, when setting a parameter, the control knob may adjust the value in
increments of 0.02 while in Fine Mode, and 0.50 in Coarse mode.
Pressing the Default button will reset the configuration parameter to its default values.
The Default button will be lit whenever the current value of the parameter is
equivalent to the default value, whether you reached this value by pressing the
Default button, or scrolling to it with the control knob.
Press the Exit button to accept your new value, and return to the previous menu or
sub-menu.
Remote Control
By placing the DPS-475/575 in Remote mode, you can control additional DPS-
475/575 units on the same DCN or Ethernet network from the front panel of this unit.
Pressing the Remote front-panel key will bring up a list of available units that can be
controlled. <local device> will always be an option on this list, representing the unit
you are physically using. Use the control knob to scroll through the list of available
devices and highlight the unit you wish to control, then press the Enter button to
activate it. Selecting <local device> exits Remote mode, resuming normal single-unit
operation.
Once you have selected a remote unit to control, all front-panel features operate as if
you were actually at the front panel of that remote unit. The VFD display, status
indicators and button lights all reflect the status of the remote unit; all buttons and
controls, with the exception of the Remote key, control the remote unit, not the one
you are physically operating. To stop controlling the remote unit, use the Remote key
to select a new unit (or the local device) to control.
The light on the Remote key flashes while the unit is remotely controlling a device.
