User's Manual

3.1 USER INTERFACE AND SOFTWARE SETTINGS

When the equipment is switched on, the display shows the presentation screen, containing the name of the

device and the release number of the firmware.

The mono/stereo choice is made automatically by MIZAR, detecting the presence of the Stereo Coder

Board (OPT023).

At this stage the device restores the last configuration saved of power, frequency and all other parameters.

The other menu can be accessed by pressing the UP and DOWN keys.

All menus show the name of one or two parameter, which can be the reading of a status (e.g. lock/unlock) or

a setting (e.g. Emphasis circuit ON/OFF). In the latter case, the setting may be changed by pressing the RET

in the relevant menu. When the RET key is pressed while in a setting menu, the parameter name label starts

blinking to show that the setting is being edited and not read.

While the label blinks, the user can change the value shown by pressing the UP and DOWN keys. To exit the

edit mode of a setting, and confirm any change made, press the RET key. To leave the edit mode without

confirming any change, press ESC.

Pressing the ESC key while navigating into menu structure, the main menu with the presentation screen is

reached.

Some parameter can be modified only in a protected mode, this possibility will

be highlighted in the menu list. To enter in the protected mode switch on the

MIZAR with both UP and DOWN key pressed. The confirmation of the

protected mode enter will be the display message below and the blinking red

alarm led. This will remember that in protected mode all the alarms and protections will be disabled.

The existing menu, in the order they can be accessed by pressing the UP key, are briefly described below.

This shows the actual level of Forward and Reflected Power. The Forward

Power level can be adjusted.

This shows the actual alarm threshold of Forward and Reflected Power. Both

levels can be adjusted in protected menu.
