TouchMonitor Help | Display Mode

In display mode, the TouchMonitor shows the instruments and their layout defined in the currently loaded preset.

Touching the screen area of an instrument will put this instrument into focus. This is recognized by a colored frame instead of a grey one. The frame color conforms to the identifier set for the group the focused instrument belongs to.

The Control Bar positioned at the lower screen edge contains several keys. It is displayed permanently if the "Control Bar" option in the "General" section of the "System" menu is set to "permanent". Otherwise, it will be displayed temporarily after touching the screen.

The Control Bar has two sections. The left (upper) section shows the specific keys defined for the focused instrument. This makes it very fast to access a specific function of one of the instruments on screen – just touch the instrument and select the desired function.

The specific keys that are displayed in the left (upper) Control Bar section can be defined individually for each instrument. To do this, touch the "Edit Instrument" key and select the "Configure Keys" option in the menu. The default value for each key can be set in the menu as well.

The Real Time Analyzer (RTA) instrument displays the spectral content of the selected input channel(s) using 31 filter bands in 1/3 octave steps, 61 filter bands in 1/6 octave steps or 120 filter bands in 1/12 octave steps. Like an oscilloscope it measures the magnitude of an input signal versus frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument. An optional "H" band shows spectral signal components above 20 kHz. The RMS integration time is pursuant to IEC651. The RMS peak rises with 10 ms, the fallback time is the same as a peakmeter. The display’s reference point and resolution can be shifted for a clearer readout in the window. The RTA’s layer display is always relative.

Control Bar - left (upper) section: RTA instrument functions

With the RTA instrument in focus, the left (upper) section of the Control Bar may contain any or all of the keys described below.

Using the "Configure Keys" option in the RTA Menu, any key available for the RTA instrument may be removed from the Control Bar. Only keys set to "On" (default) in the Control Bar section of the "RTA Key Settings" menu are available in normal display mode with the RTA instrument in focus.

If more than six keys have been activated, they will be placed on two layers. To toggle between the layers, please use key "More" being displayed on each layer.

This key enables the selection of the input channel(s) to be displayed in the RTA. If there are more then four selection keys (depending on the selected format used by the audio group), use the More key to display the further available keys. Use the Close key to switch back to the function keys.

Options:		All \| single channels \| channel pairs \| channel combinations
Default value:		depending on selected channel mode

This key is used to set the level resolution and the visible level range of the RTA display.

This key is used to switch the frequency range of the RTA display between 20 Hz...20 kHz (Norm mode) and 5 Hz...5 kHz (LF mode).

This key enables the selection of the detector type and integration time used by the RTA. Use the Close key to switch back to the function keys.

This key is used to reset the Peakhold indicators in the RTA display.

This key is used to decrease the reference level of the RTA instrument so that the displayed bargraphs will be higher.

This key is used to increase the reference level of the RTA instrument so that the displayed bargraphs will be lower.

This key is used to freeze the RTA display. Touching the key again will return the RTA to continuous real time display

The right (lower) section of the Control Bar always contains the following four keys:

This key is used to directly access the menu parameters of the focused instrument. Any edits in the menu are saved to the current preset using the "Save" key.

This key is used to load one of the presets stored in the unit’s internal memory or on an USB storage medium connected to one of the USB ports.

This key is used to enter the Main Menu. This is the starting point for global system configuration, licence handling and preset management.

This key is used to enter the onscreen help for normal display mode (this text). Depending on the focused instrument, the help page will also describe the individual keys of this instrument.
