4. MENU STRUCTURE AND EDITING

Fig. 4.22: Setup ß Global Lock

On this SETUP page you can activate the GLOBAL LOCK

function (ON), enter a password, then confirm with OK. Now, if

you try to edit any parameter, the display will prompt you to enter

your password. The process follows the same logic as the PAGE

LOCK routine.

+ Activating PAGE LOCK and/or GLOBAL LOCK auto-

matically locks all STORE and RECALL pages.

CAUTION: If you have locked individual pages with PAGE LOCK

and deactivated the GLOBAL LOCK function with the correct

password, you can not yet make any changes to the corresponding

page. You must first unlock this page in the PAGE LOCK menu.

When using the GLOBAL LOCK feature, we recommend that you

unlock all pages in the PAGE LOCK menu (UNLOCK ALL).

4.2.6 MISCELLANEOUS

Fig. 4.24: Setup ß Miscellaneous

On this page, the current version of your DCX2496 operating

software is shown in the top right corner of the display (e.g.

VERSION: 1.0). This is just a message and cannot be selected.

Additionally, this menu provides five user settings. Firstly, you can

adapt the CONTRAST of the display to ambient conditions.

Secondly, you can assign a DEVICE ID to your DCX2496, allowing

you to daisy-chain several units via the rear panel RS-485 network

interface (LINK A and B). The first unit is connected to a PC either

via one of the LINK interfaces (RS-485) or via the RS-232 interface.

The PORT parameter provides three different modes for the

PC remote control:

1. PC (RS-232)

Fig. 4.25: Setup ß Miscellaneous

Fig. 4.26: PC (RS-232) mode

Use this setting if you want to connect only one DCX2496 to

your computer via the RS-232 interface. It is impossible to daisy-

chain several units in this mode.

2. LINK (RS-485)

Fig. 4.27: Setup ß Miscellaneous

Fig. 4.28: LINK (RS-485) mode

Please use this mode when several ULTRADRIVE PROs are

linked to each other via the network interfaces LINK A and B and

the first unit in the chain is connected to a computer via the

RS-485 interface. The last unit in the chain must have a termination

(TERM switch on rear panel = ON). The RS-232 interface is not

used in this configuration.
