INTRODUCTION

NAVIGATING THE RE32

Getting around the RE32 is quite straightforward. Dedicated keys for most commonly used functions

reduces the need for multi-menu operation. Less day-to-day functions are kept hidden away out of

harms way but are still readily accessible.

The external monitor is used purely for referencing your work to see what is going on. You can

think of it as an animated track sheet. In theory, the RE32 could be used without it as most work is

done from the RE32’s front panel LCD.

The keys we will look at in this section are highlighted in the above diagram although others may

be referred to where necessary.

CURSOR KEYS

You use the four CURSOR keys to move around the LCD. In the following example, the page is

displaying a list of files and the CURSOR keys are used to scroll up and down the list in order to

select one.

You can also, in this example, move the cursor to the top line to select a different disk. Disk

selection would be made using the DATA ENTRY +/- keys or by typing in a number directly from

the numeric keypad.

NOTE: The two arrows shown in this example indicate that there are files ‘above’ and ‘below’

the screen which may be accessed by scrolling up or down. This is a convention used in all

file-lists in the RE32 (for example, when loading PROJECTS etc.). If the arrows don’t appear,

there are no files ‘off-screen’.

The cursor keys are ‘accelerators’ - that is, they move faster the longer you hold them so scrolling

through long lists of files or parameters is very fast.
