PROGRAMMING GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Programming the LEGEND unit is done through the front panel keypad,

which allows the user to enter into Main Menus, Sub Menus, and Edit Menus.
The English language prompts, the flashing parameters values, and the front
panel keypad aids the operator during programming.

Although the unit has been programmed at the factory, the parameters will

generally have to be changed to suit the desired application. From the main
display loop, the Main Menus are entered by pressing the enter (ENT) key
when Program Mode is displayed. This allows the user to then enter a
Sub Menu from a main menu where parameter values can be viewed. From
the Sub Menu the operator can advance into an Edit Menu. An Edit Menu is
where a parameter value is changed and entered. There are two types of Edit
Menu’s:
1. A Choice Edit Menu allows the operator to scroll through options by

pressing the down arrow key until the desired option is viewed. The option
is selected by pressing the ENT (enter) key, which returns the operator to
the previous sub menu. The operator can exit the Edit Menu WITHOUT
making a selection by pressing the <ESC key, which will then return the
operator to the previous sub menu.

2. In a Numerical Value Edit Menu, the operator uses the left or right arrow

key to select a digit. The up and down arrow keys change the digit’s value.
The PRS key toggles the left most digit between a minus ( ) and a zero for
plus (+), for that numeric value. When the appropriate numerical value is
selected, it is entered by pressing the ENT (enter) key, which returns the
operator to the previous sub menu.
All parameter values that are changed in the Programming Loop are saved

when exiting the loop. The operator can exit the programming loop from any
of the main menus by pressing the <ESC key. When the <ESC key is pressed,
the display will blank momentarily, while the parameter values are saved in
nonvolatile memory. The unit will return to the indication display that was
last viewed. Shown is the Main Display Loop and the Main Programming
Menus of the Multi Preset Legend (LGM) unit.

All of the flow charts that follow, which have slanted characters will be

flashing in the units display and will have programmable options.
