Section 7.7.1.2 Description
PLS descriptions are helpful labels, which aid the operator in identifying which device is tied to a
particular PLS channel. This label can be up to 20 characters in length. Both alpha and numeric
characters can be used.
Moving the cursor to highlight the Description and then selecting the CHANGE NAME softkey can
access the PLS Names screen. There are several names that were programmed by the factory. These are
common names that may be helpful to the user. The user can edit or delete any of the factory
programmed names as required.
It must be noted that when a job is stored in memory, only the number assigned to the description is
stored. The PLS Names screen has a number associated with each description. When a job is recalled,
the description that is currently assigned to the stored description number will be displayed. If a
description has been changed since the job was last stored, the new description, not the description
present when the job as stored, will be displayed. Since there are 80 description names available, the
user is encouraged to enter descriptions in unused locations rather than edit existing names.
Section 7.7.1.3 Speed Advance
This parameter will be displayed if the system has been configured for Speed Advance PLS outputs.
There are four possible selections for this parameter. If the None option is selected, the channel’s turn
on and turn off angles will not be speed advanced. If the Leading Edge option is selected, the channel’s
turn on angle will be speed advanced, but its turn off angle will not be speed advanced. If the Trailing
Edge option is selected, the channel’s turn off angle will be speed advanced, but its turn on angle will
not be speed advanced. If the Both option is selected, the channel’s turn on and turn off angles will be
speed advanced. See Section 7.5.7 for additional speed advance information.
