THE SOFTWARE – THE MENU
Overview
The dCS 950 / 952 has many other functions that either need to be accessed only
occasionally, or are informative in nature. These functions can be accessed
either by the Remote software, running on a PC and connected to the unit by an
RS-232 link - or (in most cases) by the Menu via the front panel. If a function is
set by the menu or the Remote, the unit remembers it, and it will be set this way
for ever (or until you set it to something different). You can customise your unit
in this way. Information-only items are displayed for a time, then the display
reverts to normal.
Four buttons are used to operate the menu:
Step otherwise the Active Input. This is the input
selector button with the bright LED or the one
furthest to the left if more than one is bright.
Set otherwise Mute
Down otherwise Phase
Up otherwise De-Emphasis
Entering the Menu -
The Menu is entered by holding down the Step and then pressing the Set button
once. The display will show:
F u n c
You are now in the menu, and the menu buttons now have their alternate
meanings.
Moving through the Menu -
Press the Step button again to step through the Menu items listed below. When
you reach the required item, press the Set button to view or change its setting.
This either displays the current state, or changes to the next state, or causes an
information function to read out, or enters a lower level (as in the Tone
generator, for example). If you have entered a lower level, pressing Step steps
through its options. When you reach the one you want, press Set and then use
the Up or Down buttons to increase or decrease a value (such as Level or
Frequency on the Tone Generator).
If no changes are made in 5 seconds, the unit exits the Menu. When one item
has been set, press the Step button again if you wish to continue cycling
through the Menu.
There is a knack in doing this easily – once it has been gained, it becomes very
easy to use the functions it accesses.
