restrict access to the information. Other features controlled in this manner include formatting
the hard disk. The System Supervisor may also have a master password.
Once the passwords feature is enabled, a general user can set a new password for a
Directory (except the Public Directory) providing he has knowledge of the existing password.
Go to the
CHANGE PASSWORDS selection of the DIRECTORY PREFS menu (in FILES mode) to specify a
new password. Password protection can also be removed from a Directory by changing its
password to a blank.
Reprogramming A Lost Password
To reprogram a lost Directory password, first disable “passwords” using the S
PECIAL
menu. Then program a new password. (When “passwords” is disabled, the display will not
ask for the existing password.)
The Master password is always freely reprogrammable in the SPECIAL menu. Formatting
the hard drive also removes all passwords.
Instructions for accessing the S PECIAL menu are included on a separate sheet in the manual
to protect access to this operation. If you do not have this sheet, contact your system
supervisor or facility manager.
Horizontal Waveform Magnification
While editing, the ZOOM IN key will magnify the waveform time display for more
accurate editing. Conversely, ZOOM OUT expands the time scale. Four zoom levels provide a
"screen time" display of 2, 5, 10 and 20 seconds. At the highest magnification, each pixel on
the screen is 10 mSec wide. At lower magnifications, the editing precision is also 10 mSec; it
just isn't shown on the screen with that degree of detail.
Vertical Waveform Magnification
Some waveforms do not fill the available vertical space of the display, and would be
easier to edit if they were larger. Hold the A LT key and press Z OOM I N to enlarge the vertical
size of the waveform. Conversely, A
LT
+ Z
OOM
O
UT
will decrease the size of the display.
These settings are specific to the particular File being edited, and are not stored as a global
machine setup.
Display Blanking
The LCD display used in the Shortcut Editor is blanked after one hour of operation if no
keys have been pressed. Turning the image off protects the display from having a fixed image
burned into it. The Editor will only blank its display while idling; all active uses of the machine
provide continuous display. To unblank the display, press any key. The R
EC (record) key is
guaranteed to work immediately; a single press will unblank the display and simultaneously
enter the Record mode.
