CHAPTER 5: User Functions
• ID Display: The ID Display is a small window that can pop up on screen to
show you the name and ID of each channel as you switch between them or
scan them. You can edit the two fields of this parameter to determine how the
system will show you this window:
– Possible values in the first field are “On” (ID Display is shown, the default
value) and “Off” (ID Display isn’t shown). Use any of the arrow keys to
toggle between these values.
– If the ID Display is set to “On,” the number in the second field is how many
seconds it will stay on screen. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a two-
digit number of seconds from 01 to 24, or use the up- and down-arrow keys
to increment and decrement the current value by 1 respectively. If you type
in a number greater than 24, the second field will be filled with a “- -”,
indicating that the ID Display will be shown at all times. The default setting
is 03. If the ID Display is set to “Off,” the number in this field will have no
effect.
The setting of this parameter also controls whether and for how long the
Public View Mode message boxes are displayed on screen (see Section 5.2).
• Green Mode: A “power-saving mode” that blanks the monitor screen if the
user station is idle (no keyboard or mouse activity) for the specified amount of
time. You can edit the two fields of this parameter to determine how the
system handles this feature:
– Possible values in the first field are “On” (Green Mode is enabled and the
screen is blanked after a period of inactivity) and “Off” (Green Mode is
disabled and the screen displays normal video indefinitely). Use any of the
arrow keys to toggle between these values.
– If Green Mode is set to “On,” the number in the second field is how many
minutes of inactivity must elapse before it’s triggered and the screen is
blanked. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a two-digit number of
minutes from 01 to 99, or use the up- and down-arrow keys to increment and
decrement the current value by 1 respectively. The default setting is 05. If
Green Mode is set to “Off,” the number in this field will have no effect.
• Hotkey: The keyboard key that, when quickly pressed twice, activates the
OSUI. The five alternatives are [Scroll Lock] (the default), [Caps Lock],
[Num Lock], left [Shift], and left [Alt]; use any of the arrow keys to switch
between them. You can’t select the key that’s currently being used as the
Previous Channel Key (see the Previous Channel Key entry on the next page).
