Figure 2-2 shows the graphical display and the menu selection buttons.

2.1Graphical Display

The graphical display is capable of displaying up to nine lines of data with approximately 27 characters per line. The display is used to view the menus of the menu–driven operating system. (Refer to the menu trees later in this section). The display is also used to show the following system information:

•State Line - modes of operation, such as Stopped, Time Delay to Start, Warm Up at Idle, etc. (see Figure2-1), and paralleling operations, such as Standby, Dead BUS Close, Synchronise, etc.

•Action Line - system actions, such as Warning, De-rate, Shutdown Cool–down and Shutdown, and fault codes.

The button is active when the message or symbol adjacent to the switch is highlighted (displayed in inverse video). The displayed message or symbol indicates the function of the button.

Note:    In the graphical display, the  symbol  indicates  that selecting  the  adjacent  button causes the operating program to go to the      next menu display—as shown in the menu diagrams.
