4.2.4 Rotary Encoders with pushbutton
The rotary encoders are used together to rapidly navigate through levels of installed frames and modules,
toggle, increase or decrease values of parameters, etc. Most of the time, the graphical display of functions or
parameters on the LCD display reflects the four rotary encoders: the first (leftmost) setting displayed can be
modified by the first encoder, the second setting by the second encoder, and so forth. The pushbutton
feature of the encoders is used to confirm certain types of data entry, or to select alternate step sizes when
adjusting certain parameters.
4.2.5 Reset Switch
Push this switch to restart the RCP-100. This is required after certain operations (see Sect. 4.3.5)
4.3 Device Selection Mode
This mode permits the operator to select a single device from among all those to which the panel has
access. Access to some devices may be restricted through the system configuration (see Section 4.3.2.
Device Locking and Section 4.5 Disabled Cards)
To enter the Device Selection mode, press the <Device> pushbutton so that the LED turns Green.
The Function Keys display these labels (BROWSE DEVICE is selected):
The RCP-100 has access to the following information about each controllable device:
• Frame, given as type (Stellar, Symphonie, Quartet or Solo) and identifying number (e.g. Quartet 03)
• Slot Number within the frame (e.g. 02)
• Device ID (a number identifying a particular device type)
• Device type (e.g.FRS-101i)
• Device name (e.g. VTR 17B)
• Group, usually assigned to reflect a practical grouping of devices (e.g. STUDIO 1)
To select a device, the operator may search among available devices using three list formats: a group list, a
device list or a frame list.
To select the preferred search method:
• Press the <LIST ORDER> key;
• Turn the first knob to select one of the three possible formats: GROUP, DEVICE or FRAME;
• Press the <BROWSE DEVICE> key to return to device selection.
Device selection will proceed according to the list format selected, as follows:
