About the Display
The monitor screen and time data display on the front
panel show the item number, the item name, and the
setting value.
The upper and lower dots of the colon displayed
between the item number and name may either flash or
remain lit, indicating the following conditions.
(1) Items that take effect immediately or items that take
effect after the system has been rebooted. For items
that take effect immediately, the lower colon dot
lights up, and for items that take effect after
rebooting, the dot flashes.
(2) Items that can be set for each bank or items with a
common setting for all banks. When items can be set
for each bank, the upper colon dot lights up, and when
items have a common setting for all banks, the dot
flashes.
Example: indicates an item that can
be set independently for
each bank, which setting
takes effect immediately.
indicates an item that has a
common setting for all
banks, which setting takes
effect only after rebooting.
On the font panel display, the upper dot is displayed
alone to indicate items that can be set for each bank and
which become effective upon rebooting. On the monitor
screen, this is indicated by a dot displayed in the center.
The letters ‘B’ and ‘I’ appear at the upper right of the
setup menu on the monitor screen. ‘B’ indicates that the
selected setting item can be set for each BANK
independently, and ‘I’ indicates that the selected setting
takes effect immediately.
The distinction between “B” and “I” is also indicated in
the “Item number” column.
Note
If the power is turned off while the menu is open, please
note that changes made nonetheless become effective.
