BASICS - FRONT PANEL

Two levels of P2 operation

First of all the “every-day-use” where the less

experienced user basically selects predefined

presets and occasionally the Wizard that

intelligently analyze program material and

particular material.

only via the TC Icon Software Editor on PC.

This is where Presets, I/O, Wizard, Lock and

System settings are setup.

Front Panel Preset

The 8 Front Panel presets can be instantly

recalled via the front panel preset keys.

preset settings are recalled.

These presets are created by the Administrator

via the TC Icon Editor and are not edited in

everyday use.

Wizard

examination of a section of material.

high and low-level passages.

seconds.

settings for your specific program material.

Lock

The Administrator can setup various lock

functions/modes for the P2 via the System/

Front page in the TC Icon PC Editor. Setting up

The Administrator sets up both how the Lock

function can be activated/deactivated from the

front panel, but also which functions that are

followed by entering a four digit code (within 5

seconds) using the eight front panel preset

keys (1-8).

Once the Administrator have designed and

setup presets for various applications using the

be easily cloned using a standard PCMCIA

card.

In other words; it is NOT

necessary to hook up

every single P2 to a computer to set these up.
