OPERATION
3.6 INITIAL MENU SELECTIONS
The SELECT switches provide manual control of the TM7000. The function of these switches
changes when the menu is changed. The menu may be changed by pressing the NEXT switch,
the
PREV switch, or one of the select switches.
The progression of menus is broken into logical sequences for the three distinct functions of the
TM7000: Generator, Translator, and Tape Search (Optional). In order to avoid operator
confusion, the menus corresponding to options, which
are not included in a specific unit
configuration, are not accessible to the user. If selected, the message shown in Figure 3.4.1 will
appear on the LCD Display. Menus for the RS-232 I/O are accessed from the Generator Menu.
The menus relating to the hardware options are presented with the Option Descriptions in
Appendix A.
In some instances, a menu selection requires a mode change in the unit. For example, going
from GENERATOR to TRANSLATOR. The following Warning Message shown in Figure
3.6.1 will appear to remind the user of a mode change:
Warning Message
Figure 3.6.1
WARNING! This selection will change time
Output and LED display. PROCEED? YES NO
The unit will only proceed to a different mode if YES is selected from this menu. If NO is
selected, the unit will revert to the previous menu and the mode will remain intact.
In this chapter each menu will be depicted. The menus, which may be accessed from this initial
menu, are shown below it, along with explanatory text, when additional clarity is needed.
Once a set-up parameter has been input, i.e. Translate IRIG B, that menu may be subsequently
skipped over by continuously pressing the NEXT switch. Tape searching is stopped when the
AUTO-S or MAN-S menus are exited. The new user is encouraged to experiment with the
selection of the different menus and operating modes.
3.6.1 CHANGE DISPLAY FORWARD OR BACKWARD
To change from an existing display (menu) to the next display, press the NEXT switch located
on the front panel. To go back to a previous display, press the PREV(ious) switch located on the
front panel.
