Front-Panel Interface
Overview
This section describes how to get information, make settings, and execute
control operations from the relay front panel. It also describes the default
displays.
Front-Panel Pushbutton Operation
Overview
Note in Figure 6.1 that most of the pushbuttons have dual functions (primary/
secondary).
A primary function is selected first (e.g., {METER} pushbutton).
After a primary function is selected, the pushbuttons then revert to operating
on their secondary functions ({CANCEL}, {SELECT}, left/right arrows, up/down
arrows). For example, after the {METER} pushbutton is pressed, the up/down
arrows are used to scroll through the front-panel metering screens. The
primary functions are activated again when the present selected function
(metering) is exited (press {EXIT} pushbutton) or the display goes back to the
default display after 15 minutes of no front-panel activity.

Note in Figure 6.2 and Figure 6.3 that the front-panel pushbutton primary
functions have correspondence to serial port commands—both retrieve the
same information or perform the same function. To get more detail on the
information provided by the front-panel pushbutton primary functions, refer to
the corresponding serial port commands in Section 5: Serial Port
Communications and Commands. For example, to get more information on
