2.8 GENERAL SCREEN
The General submenu is entered by pressing the GEN submenu button on the main LCD screen.
This submenu displays all the configuration and setup information of the particular model of MXi transmitter. The first
line displays the transmitter type, the second line displays the software code and revision, the third line displays the
LARCAN ID number that is used in the factory to determine options, date the boards were made and other information.
This information is not really important for day to day operations but can be useful when dealing with LARCAN service
in verifying the transmitter configuration.
The bottom line represents the menu selection buttons with a possible option of eight different selections. The operator
just needs to press the touchpad (lightly) either on or just above the desired menu select button.
The first two buttons from the left control allow access to two level 2 submenus. One is for setting up the real time
clock and the second is for internet setup. Note that the internet is a purchased option and may not be functional on a
given transmitter configuration.
 RTC = Go to the Real Time Clock Submenu
 INET = Go to the Internet Setup Submenu
 OUT = Returns LCD to the main LCD Screen.

This submenu displays the current time and date in the real time clock chip and allows the operator to reset the time
and date.
The first line displays the current time and date as known by the real time clock. The time/date will be used for any
logs that the system records.
The second and third lines have target date and time values used by the operator when resetting the current time or
date. The operator can use the control buttons on line four of this LCD to increment the various time/date elements.
The DoW (Day of Week) is not changed by the operator but the system calculates this value from the other time &
date parameters.
The status LED ‘NewTime’ on the third line of the LCD will be lit when there is a new value set by the operator in any of
the time or data values on lines two or three.
