Even if it has leading dots, the “Exit...” item, the first item of all menus, isn’t a real submenu. By clicking on
“Exit...”, it goes back to the parent menu, if any, browsing the tree-menu from the bottom to the top. If the
menu is at the top-level, by choosing “Exit...” the menu icons screen is shown.
- Read/write parameters
The row of a read/write parameter is composed by two parts: the leftmost one contains the name of the
parameter with arrow suffix, the rightmost one contains its value or an “action symbol”.
By clicking on a read/write parameter, the associated value is written in reverse colours, meaning that it is
possible to change it by rotating the knob. Some parameters can be changed continuously in a range (e.g., the
output power level); move the knob to the right (left) to increase (decrease) the value. For other parameters,
the value can be chosen from a short list (e.g., the input selection); move the knob to the right (left) to scroll
down (up) the list. For some other complex parameters, like the frequency or the date, the user can change a
token at a time (a digit of the frequency, a field of the date) by rotating the knob, moving to the next token by
clicking on the knob. After choosing the desired new value, click the knob to finish the change. Usually, until
now, no real change of the parameter took place (there are some exceptions, well described later). It is
necessary to accept the new value by rotating the knob to the right in order to choose the answer “Yes” to the
confirmation question (“Sure?”) that appears at the left of the titlebar. By answering “No” to the confirmation
question, the new value is discarded and the parameter keep the old value.
There are some “special” read/write parameters that represent only an action to make (e.g., Clear Log). Their
value is shown with the symbol. By clicking on this kind of parameter, the symbol is drawn in reverse
colours. Click again and choose “Yes” to the confirmation question in order to perform the associated action
(e.g., clearing the log content). It should be noticed that, if the control is password-locked or the remote
control is enabled, a read/write parameter could become a read-only parameter until the control is unlocked
by typing the correct password or the remote control is disabled.
- Read-only parameters
The row of a read-only parameter is composed by two parts: the leftmost contains the name of the parameter,
the rightmost one contains its value. The user can read this value, but not modify it. In fact, if clicking on a
read-only parameter, nothing happens.
