Section 4.3 - Selecting the unit controlled by the menus
4-3
4.2.4 “Fine-tuning” values
The
JOG/SHUTTLE
controls [28] may also be
used to “fine-tune” the values entered and dis-
played on the LED
VALUE
display.
1) Press the
DATA INC/DEC
key [27] so that the
indicator lights.
2) Use the jog dial to change the value shown on
the
VALUE
display in the same way as you
would use them to locate a tape (i.e. the jog dial
increments (clockwise) or decrements (counter-
clockwise) the numbers.
4.3 Selecting the unit
controlled by the menus
As explained above, the Machine parameter
which appears in many menus cannot be changed
directly using the
UP
or
DOWN
keys.
The DTRS units connected to the RC-898 are
numbered in order, starting at 1. The machine with
the lowest logical number (see 3.1.1, “Machine
IDs”), i.e. the one connected directly to the RC-
898, is Machine 1, the next in the chain is
Machine 2, and so on.
However, as you can see from the front panel of
the RC-898, the
UP
and
DOWN
keys have
another meaning when used in combination with
the
SHIFT
key [23], and they change to being
NEXT
and
PREVIOUS
keys, allowing you to
select the next unit in the chain, or the previous
one, respectively.
If the display screen shows a menu with a
Machine parameter, and you want to change
the unit controlled by the menu’s other
parameters, as in the example menu below.:
1) Press and hold down the
SHIFT
key
2) While holding down the
SHIFT
key, press the
UP
or
DOWN
(
NEXT
or
PREVIOUS
) key to
increment or decrement the
Machine
number.
The machine number can be set from
1
through
6
.
Other menus will present the 6 units on one screen
(where there is only an on/off parameter). In these
cases, use the
LEFT
and
RIGHT
keys to select the
machine, and the
UP
and
DOWN
keys to enable
or disable the function:
4.4 Commonly-used menus
The
F1
through
F10
function keys [22] may be
used to recall the ten functions (menu screens)
that you use most often.
When the
SHIFT
key [23] is held down, these
keys can be used as an additional ten function
keys;
F11
through
F20
.
NOTE
The jog dial can only be used for data entry and editing of
values which may be entered through the
VALUE
display,
not for values which may be entered only on the LCD dis-
play screen.
NOTE
This selection has no effect on the transport or location sec-
tion of the RC-898 and
vice versa
. The unit shown on the
MACHINE
indicator [8] selected with the
MACHINE
key
[31] is independent of any settings made on the LCD dis-
play screen to select the unit whose parameters are to be set.
