Basic Display Operation

The PSR-520 LCD panel is a large multi-function type that simultaneously
displays and provides access to a number of important parameters. Basic
operation of the display as well as the CURSOR, FUNCTION, MODE, and
NUMBER buttons, and the meaning of the icons which appear in the
display, are summarized briefly below.

The Cursor Buttons

The CURSOR buttons are used to select the
various parameters which appear in the dis-
play. Depending on the selected parameter,
the “cursor” may appear as an underline, or
the selected icon or value may simply flash.
Each CURSOR button moves the cursor in the
corresponding direction. The [

] and [

]

CURSOR buttons are also used to select func-
tions within the function groups selected by the
FUNCTION buttons in some cases.
