Simrad MX500 | 221
Appendix C - Engineering Mode
The Engineering Display, which is activated in CFG1
Operation, enables an expanded series of display screens
in some of the functions. In general, these screens are
used by the technician during troubleshooting or by
SIMRAD engineers during testing and software debug-
ging. This section describes what information is relevant
to you, or the information we need to help you trouble-
shoot your MX500.
Information which is not described here is unsupported,
which means SIMRAD will not expand or provide any
more information than what is provided in this manual.
If you should enable these screens, they will be turned
off automatically the next time power is cycled on the
MX500.
AUX7 - Unit Information & Self Test
When the Engineering Display is active, the AUX7 screen
adds one line of detail to display the engineering level
that is turned on.
In addition, you can press the EDIT function key and
run a complete self test by highlighting the Make Selftest
softkey then pressing ENT. The first display of the self
test is a keypad test. Press each function and softkey
once. When you have pressed each once the test will au-
tomatically advance to the Traffic Light test. Observe that
the three traffic lights go from dim to bright. Highlight
the OK softkey then press ENT if they illuminate cor-
rectly or Fail if they don’t.
The CDU will go on to conduct a Contrast test. Observe
that the display goes through its full range of contrast
