User Function 6 - Select Monitor Display Option
The user 6 mode allows the user to remove the time
& date, the left side portion of the display (on
TC8300, TC8600, and TC8800 systems only), or to
remove the entire display from the individual
monitor. After entering the mode, moving the joystick
down will blank the time & date from the screen. This
is sometimes desirable when a VCR with its own
time & date is being used. Moving the joystick up will
add the time & date back again.
Moving the joystick left will blank the left side portion
of the display (the entire display will be blanked on
TC8500 systems) from the monitor and moving right
will return it. Refer to user mode 5 to verify
brightness level. Press USER to exit the mode.
User Function 7 - Set Time
User mode 7 enables the operator to set the time as
displayed on all the monitors in the system. After
entering the mode, the joystick is used to select
hours, minutes, or seconds in an edit line displayed
on the monitor screen. Moving the joystick up or
down counts the data item up or down while moving
right or left selects between data items. The NEXT
key is used to set the seconds to zero. If NEXT is
pressed when the seconds are over 30, the minute
count (shown on the operating clock display) is
incremented. If NEXT is pressed when the seconds
are under 30, the minutes are left unaffected.
Pressing ENTER updates the time displayed on all
system monitors. Press USER to exit the mode.
User Function 8 - Set Date
User mode 8 enables the operator to set the date as
displayed on all the monitors in the system. After
entering the mode, the joystick is used to select the
day, month, or year in an edit line displayed on the
monitor screen. Moving the joystick up or down
counts the data item up or down while moving right
or left selects between the data items. Pressing
ENTER updates the date displayed on all system
monitors. Press USER to exit the mode.
User Function 9 - Set Camera ID
User 9 provides the capability of entering a 16
character
camera
identification
appears on the video monitor display whenever that
specific camera is called up for viewing. If desired,
this message can be used to identify the particular
scene being viewed. Refer to the Character ROM
Tables at the end of this manual for the various
characters available. After entering the mode, Users
with the priority level 1 can use the joystick to move
right or left to select the character to be changed.
The selected character will be identified by a box
with a question mark inside it. The first line of the
video monitor screen will indicate the code number
of the character selected. Move the joystick up or
down to single step through the character ROM table,
or
the character's number as identified in the Tables
using the numeric keypad and press ENTER. Once
the title has been set, press ENTER to store the
updated title into memory. Press USER to exit the
mode.
User Function 10 - Change USER Password
User function 10 allows an operator to change
system access passwords. This feature would only
be required in systems where the keyboard log-in
and password security feature has been enabled by
the system installer. After entering the mode, the
video monitor display will prompt the user for the
current password by displaying "OLD PASSWORD".
Enter the current user password using the numeric
keypad and press ENTER. If the system does not
accept the old password, the prompt will not proceed
past this point. If the entered password is valid, the
display will change to the "NEW PASSWORD"
prompt for entering the new password. Key in the
new password (up to 6 numerals) using the numeric
keypad and press ENTER. You may also leave this
step blank if no password is desired. If none is used,
all that is required when you log-on to the system in
the future is to press ENTER at the "P" prompt. To
safeguard against typographical errors, the system
will then prompt you with "VERIFY PASSWORD" to
reenter the new password for verification. If the
entered passwords do not agree, the system will
require reentry and verification of the new password.
If the two password entries agree, the video monitor
prompt will indicate "PASSWORD UPDATED". Press
USER to exit the mode.
User Function 11 - Select Time / Date Format
Users with the priority level 1 can use User function
11 to select the time and date format used
throughout the system. Two formats of time are
available - 12 hour mode and 24 hour mode. The
date is available in a 'MM-DD-YY' format (U.S.), a
'DD-MM-YY' format (Int'l), and a 'YY-MM-DD' format
(Asian). After entering the mode, move the joystick
up or down to select the desired format. Press
ENTER to convert the system to the format chosen.
Press USER to exit the mode.
