Task 2 — set up user navigation

Overview

In these steps, you will set up the 2Q system to perform menu navigation with menu scan. Because the user has only two distinct inputs (left and right pads), both of which will be used during function operation, you will set up the system so that it automatically returns to the menu after a programmed duration of inactivity within a function.

To set up menu navigation, you need to define its type, menu scan, and how it is accessed, in this case, using navigation timeout.

  • To enable the system for menu scan, you just need to set the Navigation Type parameter to Menu Scan and then specify how you will select menu items by setting the Scan Selection parameter.

  • To enable the navigation timeout option, you need to set the user function's Navigation Timeout Enable parameter and the global parameter Enable Timeout for Navigation Entry. Both of these parameters must be set for the timeout to be enabled. The duration for the timeout is set with Timeout for Navigation Entry.

You will also need to consider the other parameters in the USER FUNCTION NAVIGATION parameter section, but many of these will depend on (and may change over time) the user's ability and proficiency using menu scan.‌

Steps

Enabling menu scan

Under User Preferences | USER FUNCTION NAVIGATION:

  1. Set the Navigation Type parameter to Menu Scan

  2. Set Scan Selection to Any Quadrant

Enabling timeout

Under User Preferences | USER FUNCTION NAVIGATION:

  1. Set Enable Timeout for Navigation Entry to On

  2. Set the timeout duration with Timeout for Navigation Entry.‌

You will also set Navigation Timeout Enabled to On for each function that you want to time out from, but this step will be completed as each function is added.
