FUNCTION
IV.
User Interface
The Cypher has only 4 controls on the front panel. They reduce the complexity
on the front panel and, through the use of menus, control the operation of the
instrument.
A.
Buttons
There are 4 momentary buttons on the front panel. Push the POWER button to
turn the instrument on and push it again to turn it off. The two buttons on the right
side marked ∆ and ∗ are Quick-keys; they will quickly do a preprogrammed
function. The ∆ button is the light on/off and the ∗ button is the beeper on/off. The
MODE button accesses the various menus.
B.
Using Menus
Pushing the MODE button will change the display to the first Function Menu.
Pushing it again will take you to the second Function Menu, and pushing it again
will take you back to normal operation. This is all the menus there are for normal
operation. The NXT softbutton means next.
Each Function Menu has its own display. The buttons below the menu selections
are changed to represent the Menu choices above them. These are called
softbuttons. The word on the bottom line of the display is the new function of the
button. The word on the top line of the display is the current setting of that
function. Pushing the button will change the setting, and thus the top word.
Repeatedly pushing the button will scroll though all the possibilities of that button.
Below is a list of the various menus. Each item is described in the appropriate
section.
