3 Viewing and Changing MJ-5 Data Items 
The MJ-5 Control Panel stores a considerable amount of 
data. Some of the data items are set points used to control 
the tap changer; others are meter readings and logged 
historical data that can be used to monitor system activity. 
All of the major data items can be displayed on the four 
line sixteen-character screen. The set points and other 
configuration items can be displayed and changed from the 
front panel. 
 
This chapter describes how data items are organized, how 
to view a specific data item, and, if applicable, how to 
change it. 
 
3.1 Viewing Data Items 
The MJ-5 Control Panel provides two techniques for 
viewing data items: 
 
1.  Use Menu Selection keys and Scroll keys to view any 
data item. 
2.  Use Fast-path keys to view certain frequently-used 
data items. 
 
3.2 Understanding Menus 
MJ-5 Control Panel information is organized into lists 
(menus) of related data. Each specific piece of information 
in MJ-5 memory is known as a data item. To view or 
change a specific data item, you must select the menu that 
contains the desired item. Appendix G provides a menu 
Structure Quick Reference for help in locating a specific 
data item. 
 
For example, the <LOG SETUP> menu contains data 
items that you can use to define logging requirements. To 
define logging requirements, view the <LOG SETUP> 
menu; then display the particular data item from that menu. 
As another example, the <METER> menu contains meter-
reading data. To determine the present load voltage meter 
reading, view the <METER> menu and then the Load 
Voltage data item from that menu. The <METER> menu is 
considered the home position in the MJ-5 Control Panel's 
menu structure. 
 
MJ-5 Control Panel menus are divided into two major 
categories: 
 
Table 3.1 Structure of MJ-5 Menus 
 
1.  Setup menus define the environment. In general, these 
menus are only used at installation. Examples include: 
 
  The <CONFIGURE> menu, which defines 
the regulator and its application. 
  The <REGULATOR> menu, which defines 
set points. 
  The <LOG SETUP> menu, which defines 
logging preferences, etc. 
 
2.  Operational menus contain daily operational 
information that can help you monitor system 
performance. Examples include: 
 
  The <METER> menu, which provides 
RMS meter readings. 
  The <DEMAND> menus, which provide 
Demand data. 
  The <LOG> menu, which contains 
historical data. 
 
3.3 Using the Menu Selection Keys to 
View Data Items 
This section describes how the Menu Selection and Scroll 
keys can be used to view data items. 
 
Think of the menu arrangement as a table of data items on a 
sheet of paper as illustrated in Table 3.1. 
 
Each column of the table has a heading (menu name). 
Since you are viewing this “table” through a four-line 
sixteen- character window, you must scroll through the 
table to view the desired data item. The following scrolling 
rules apply: 
 
•  At the heading level, scroll through the menu headings 
with the left and right Scrolling keys. 
•  Within a selected menu, use the up and down Scrolling 
keys to step through the various data items.
