Multiple-Button Functions Emulation Options
This parameter allows the keyer timing to mimic that
of other keyers, making the “feel” more comfortable
for operators used to different timing parameters.
The default is VØ.
To check or change the emulation, you must briefly
use the Inquiry or Function mode. You will learn
more about these modes beginning on page 35.
To check Emulation option:
1 Press [CH 3]+[CH 4].
The keyer will send “?”.
2 Send a “V”.
The keyer will send the current emulation
(e.g. VØ).
To change Emulation option:
1 Press [CH 1]+[CH 2].
The keyer will send “F”.
2 Send a “Vd” where d represents the emulation
number (see table) that you desire.
