6.1.3 Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)

This ‘welcome screen’ is displayed whenever power is
first applied to the unit.


The display has two lines each of 24 characters. As shown, the first line identifies the unit model
(CLO-10-1 or CLO-10-2); the second line displays the CLO-10’s installed firmware version (this
number will vary).

Pressing any key takes the user to the top-level Select menu.

On most menu screens, users will see a flashing, solid-block cursor. This indicates the currently
selected item, digit, or field:

CONFIG: Remote BW Uplink

Downlink Remod CnC Misc

Where this solid block cursor would obscure the item being edited (for example, a numeric field),
the cursor will automatically change to an underline cursor:

Attenuation:

00.0 dB (◄ ► ▲ ▼ ENTER)

To prevent the display from becoming burnt by a constant image, the unit employs a screen saver
feature, which activates after one hour and constantly scrolls and wraps a message across the screen.
The top line of the screen saver display shows the Circuit ID (which can be entered by the user); the
bottom line shows the Carrier-in-Carrier

®

(CnC) lock status followed by the message ‘Press any

key…’ as shown:

Circuit ID: -------------

CnC not locked - Press any key...

Press any key to restore the previously active screen.
