Description of the submenus included in Settings.
SUBMENU OPERATION
Update the time and date shown in the main menu box.
Selection of the analogue voltage signal (PEAK or RMS) to convert and
display the Forward power in antenna. A message in the main menu screen
confirms current choice.
It is possible to remotely control the apparatus, thus to monitor the parameters
shown on the display of Amplifier Control module and check the status of the
transmitter.
This is done through RS232 or RS485 standard serial communication, digital
and analog inputs through the DB25 telemetering connector on the rear panel
of the Amplifier Control module.
If the Local mode is set in this menu, the control module and the apparatus
can only be controlled locally, and a remote command is ignored. If Remote
is set instead, the REMOTE LED on the front panel of the module lights up
after going back to the main screen. From then on, incoming remote commands
from either the serial port or the telemeasuring connector on the rear panel
are handled (Note 1).

Remote Control
the menu is accessed, it is possible to change the value of the displayed fields or select a function by means of
the arrow keys. The RET key is used to confirm the selection (an acoustic signal should be heard). The ESC
key (or no key pressed for more than 7 seconds) sends back to the setting list. Pressing it again (or pressing
no key for more than 10 seconds) brings back to the main menu.
Every selection made in the Settings menu is stored into the EEPROM until it is changed again, this allows to
remember the settings status after an equipment reset.
