My Minima Controller Alternate Tuning Method Help Text

Tuning Knob Operations, used for both Frequency and RIT

   Tuning POT = Incremental Near Center
   Tuning POT = Auto Increment Near Extremes
   Tuning POT = Faster Auto Increment At Extremes


Button Operations

   Btn1 is the original Minima FN Button
   Btn2-Btn7 are added, see: http://goo.gl/Ca1JUz


   Btn1 Single_Press = Toggles: RIT Mode ON/OFF 
   Btn1 Double_Press = Swap A/B VFO's, Cancels any Pending Edit-IF-Freq 
   Btn1   Long_Press = VFO Copy, A>B or B>A
 
   Btn2 Single_Press =  Left, Move Frequency Cursor 
   Btn3 Single_Press = Right, Move Frequency Cursor
 
   Btn4 Single_Press = Select: USB, LSB, or Auto USB (default) 
   Btn4 Double_Press = Loads User-Preferences from Non-Volatile Memory
   Btn4   Long_Press = Saves User-Preferences  to  Non-Volatile Memory
   Btn4  Alt_PressFN = Toggles: Split Operation ON/OFF
   Btn4  Alt_PressLF_CUR = Starts CW Macro MSG1, Key down to abort
   Btn4  Alt_PressRT_CUR = Starts CW Macro MSG2, Key down to abort
 
   Btn5 Single_Press =   Up, Change HAM Band (saves current Freq and SSB Mode) 
   Btn6 Single_Press = Down, Change HAM Band (saves current Freq and SSB Mode)
 
   Btn7 Single_Press = Toggles: Tune/Cursor-Move Mode
   Btn7 Double_Press = Toggles: Menu Mode
   Btn7   Long_Press = Display, and Edit IF-Freq, Saves IF-Freq
   Btn7  Alt_PressLF = Toggles: Tune 2500Hz Mode ON/OFF
   Btn7  Alt_PressLF_CUR = Starts QRSS Beacon Macro MSG1, Key down to abort
   Btn7  Alt_PressRT_CUR = Starts QRSS Beacon Macro MSG2, Key down to abort

   Where: 
       "Alt_PressFN" = First press a BtnN (while holding) quickly press FN and
                          release FN, then release BtnN

       "Alt_PressLT" = First press a BtnN (while holding) quickly press LEFT and
                          release LEFT, then release BtnN

       "Alt_PressRT" = Similar to LEFT
 
       "Alt_PressLT_CUR" = First press a BtnN (while holding) quickly press LEFT-Cursor and
                          release LEFT-Cursor, then release BtnN

       "Alt_PressRT_CUR" = Similar to LEFT-Cursor


IF Frequency Adjustment (Dial Calibration)

    1. Select a Sideband
    2. Adjust VFO Display to the expected Zero Beat Frequency of a Standard
    3. Long-Press btn7
    4. Zero Beat, adjust as necessary with the Cursor and Dial, or the RIT
    5. To Complete Calibration, Long-Press btn7 (or, to abort IF CAL - Double-Press FN)
    6. To Save to Non-Volatile Memory Double-Press btn4
    7. Do the same for the other Sideband


User-Preferences

   The Current Saved/Loaded User-Preference Include:

       The Current Band, Frequency and Sideband Selection
       The Last Frequency and Sideband used within each Ham Bands
       USB and LSB IF-Freq Adjustments
       The Current VFO "A/B" (or "I" if in  IF-Freq Edit Mode)

   Excluded from User-Preferences Save/Load are:

       RIT
       Cursor Position

   The goal of saved User-Preferences is to return the Receiver
   to a previously saved configuration at the next Power-ON or Processor Reset.
 

Factory Reset = Holding any Button at Power-ON or Processor Reset.

   Note: previously saved User-Preference can be re-loaded with another
   Power-ON, Reset, or with the Load Button.


Error and Status Messages

   Load Fail = The internal Non-Volatile ID does not match the current Rev
   of the Save/Load code, please re-save User-Preferences.

   Load Fail CSum = The internal Check-Sum of the Non-Volatile Memory does
   not match as expected, please re-save User-Preferences.

   Loading nnnB = This is the size of the User-Preferences Loaded
      from Non-Volatile Memory.

   Storing nnnB = This is the size of the User-Preferences Saved
      to Non-Volatile Memory.

Note: When the IF Frequency is Set to Zero, the Controller can be used as a handy signal source. The software is available at:

The Development (Dev) Respository is available at:

This list will be updated as the Controller Software changes.
